At the first meeting for Warwickshire Council in 2026, the Thrice Illustrious Master, Ill Comp Kevin Kane-Brooks, undertook double Most Excellent Master and Super Excellent Master ceremonies for Companions Nick Clarke and Dan Boulstridge. 

In the absence of the District Grand Master, Ill Comp Peter Stokes, Deputy District Grand Master, accompanied by Ill Comp Chris Denley, District Grand Principal Conductor of the Work, together with Ill Comp Paul Fernandez-Montes were treated to splendid ceremonies. 

The meeting was well handled by the TIM, Ill Comp Kevin Kane-Brooks, who was re-elected for a second term in office.  Comp Richard Pinner excelled as Captain of the Guard through the meeting.  Ill Comp Hosey Davoudian led the Most Excellent Master ceremony in his own inimitable style, and then followed up with the History in the Super Excellent Master ceremony, which was conducted by the ever versatile Deputy District Grand Master, Peter Stokes.

All in all, a splendid meeting which was enjoyed by all present.

Many thanks to Hosey for the photograph, which explains why he is not in the picture above.
