Rare Royal Arch Order of Meritorious Service Award

VE Comp Tom Norris from Aurora Royal Arch Chapter No 109 was honoured with the Royal Arch Order of Meritorious Service Award for services to the Royal Arch by First Grand Principal ME Comp Graham Redman on one of his last official outings to Brooklyn RAC No 24 Installation at Porirua, prior to Grand Convocation and Installation in Masterton.

Only twenty living Royal Arch Masons can hold this award at any time and with Tom there are now currently six. It is awarded to those who don’t have Grand Chapter Rank or have not received the First Grand Principals Award.
