PGS Visits Templum sublime No 69
On Monday 9th September the PGS accompanied by the Asst PGS 4 members of the Tzaddikim and 5 other Provincial Officers visited Templum Sublime Consistory to see Comp Mark Harrison the Sub Prior of the KT in Essex take his first Grade.
Prior to that however the PGS was asked to say a few words about Dist Comp David Burgess who passed away in July 2024. Doing his eulogy the PGS told the Companions present that among other Orders David had been a member of 11 Consistories and in fact been a Founder of 8 of them, a fantastic achievement, he stated David was a wonderful supporter of the Scarlet Cord and the other Companion Orders and would be missed.
With the help of some of the visiting Provincial Officers and R. Dist Comp Jules Greenwall (PGD for London) acting as Primus of Ostiarii Comp Mark was admitted into the Order  and his first grade. 
During the meeting the Recorder said he had given a Notice of Motion to reduce the number of meetings from 3 to 2 whilst they were waiting for new candidates and that the two meetings would coincide with the Upminister OSM meeting dates.
The meeting of Templum Sublime meets an hour or so before the Upminister OSM  so after a short refreshment break many of those attending the Templum meeting then went into the OSM meeting and assisted in the Princes degree! 
By the end of the meeting the PGS had managed to sign up 5 members of the OSM for the Scarlet Cord because of the new arrangement to meet on the same day as the OSM
