On Saturday 28th June 2025, the Joint Provincial Annual Investiture took place at the iconic Memorial Hall in Barry. The morning commenced with the Opening of Provincial Grand Chapter, and it was heartening to see such a strong turnout of Companions, all gathered in support of this important occasion.
The Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, E.Comp. Paul R. Clement, called the Companions to order to pay solemn tribute to our dearly departed Provincial Grand Master, a moving and respectful moment that reminded all present of the enduring bonds of our fraternity.
Following this, the Grand Superintendent warmly welcomed distinguished visitors from neighbouring Provinces and beyond, including several Heads of Orders and their Executives, who honoured the Province with their presence.
The Grand Superintendent then proceeded to re-appoint his Provincial Grand Principals, Assistants to the Provincial Grand Principals, and a number of his acting officers. A highlight of the morning was the ever-impressive Provincial Carousel, a celebratory procession that saw many delighted Companions receive their appointments and promotions with beaming smiles and heartfelt applause.
At the conclusion of the Investiture, the Grand Superintendent addressed the assembled Companions with an inspiring address, reflecting on the work of the Province and sharing his vision for the year ahead. (Link to full address here)
