(Middlesex) and be known as Finchley and

Removals
The following Memorials had been received:
From Carnarvon Chapter No. 1572, that it
be permitted to be removed from London to
the Province of Staffordshire; from St Bride
Chapter No. 2817, that it be permitted to
be removed from London to the Province
of West Kent.
The Grand Superintendents concerned
having accorded their assent, the Memorials
were granted.
Andorra
An invitation had been received from the
Grand Lodge of Andorra to assist in the
introduction of Royal Arch Masonry into
that country with a view to establishing a
Grand Chapter of Andorra in due course.
The Committee considered that the
invitation should be accepted and
appropriate steps be taken by the Grand
Chapter to achieve the purpose.
The Grand Lodge of Andorra had taken
powers to enable it to regulate Royal Arch
Chapters within its territory, and the
following Chapters had indicated their
intention to seek to be removed from the
jurisdiction of this Grand Chapter to that
of the Grand Lodge of Andorra: Fellowship
Chapter No. 2535 (London) and Hanworth
Park Chapter No. 5634 (Middlesex).
The Committee expected that a formal
Memorial would have been received from
each of those Chapters by the date of, or
soon after, the Convocation of Grand
Chapter on 27 April.
A recommendation that, subject to
the receipt of a formal Memorial and to
the consent of the Grand Superintendent
concerned, each of those Chapters be
permitted to be removed to the jurisdiction
of the Grand Lodge of Andorra, and
in consequence thereof be erased from
the register of the Grand Chapter, was
approved.
Amalgamations
The following Chapters have resolved
to surrender their Charters:
Loyal Todmorden Chapter No. 288, in
order to amalgamate with Chapter of Justice
No. 219 (East Lancashire); Industria Chapter
No. 5214, in order to amalgamate with
Old Paludians Chapter No. 7181
(Buckinghamshire); Oxhey Chapter No.
6864, in order to amalgamate with North
Watford Chapter No. 6918 (Hertfordshire).
Approval was given for the Chapters
to be removed from the register in order to
effect the respective amalgamations.
