On 5th March 2026 at Freemasons' Hall, Macaulay Chapter No 5010 were delighted to welcome a visit from the Metropolitan Third Grand Principal E Comp John Burnapp, Assistant Metropolitan Grand Superintendent, E Comp Ian Clark and Metropolitan Grand Inspectors, E Comps Gary Moss and Tony Shepherd, in a packed Temple 5.
The 250th convocation of Macaulay Chapter in May 2024 was particularly special, not just for that milestone but as the ‘launch’ convocation for the new home of ‘current and former Royal Arch Representatives, Coordinators and Metropolitan Assistant Grand Inspectors (RA)’.
The Chapter has been designated in response to the need to provide greater support, recognition, and collaboration for all those working in these challenging roles whilst providing a fun and dynamic environment. This renewed spirit of connectedness has helped members thrive in their roles outside the Chapter and has further contributed to the growth and success of the Royal Arch in London.
At every Macaulay Chapter convocation, regular items including the ‘Macaulay Exposition’ encourage stimulating conversation and lively debate, focusing on the key principles of knowledge sharing, mentorship, and personal development. On this occasion, the Exposition was given over to E Comp John Burnapp, who provided an update on the Royal Arch Unattached Project, launched at the November convocation.
Macaulay is not a ‘Special Interest’ Chapter, but a ‘Team’ Chapter; and all Royal Arch Representatives, former or serving, are encouraged to join and get involved. It offers a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone's voice is heard and valued. With active participation and contributions encouraged from all members, it aims to be a platform for sharing knowledge, talent and expertise; and provides helpful tips to take back to our Lodges and Chapters to the advantage of all.
