I am delighted to confirm that we have another postulant for the Investiture service in November, making three in total. Carlos Kearns, an American, is a regular visitor to the UK and a personal friend of Paul Denby. I have met Carlos many times in Manchester Cathedral and he has wanted to join the Order for some time. Although he will not be a regular attendee at our events, his knowledge, experience and contacts in the business communities of England and the USA will be of great benefit to us.

If we are to hold a Commandery Investiture in May 2012, we need to have at least one postulant for admission. If you know anybody that might be interested in joining the Order, please speak to them soon, as we have to submit the forms by the beginning of December this year if we wish to complete the process in time.
