Owing to the current suspension of Masonic activity the June Communication of Grand Lodge, when those receiving first appointments are scheduled be honoured, is extremely unlikely to take place. With this in mind it has been deemed that those receiving first appointments may assume their deserved new rank from 9th June, the date that the meeting would have been held. It is hoped that the investitures will take place in September when those honoured with promotion are normally recognised. More details will follow in due course.
