On June the 17th 2025, at a meeting of Middlesbrough College No.77, Fra. David Roach was advanced to the 4th Grade of the Society.
Following the ceremony, Fra. Derek Bain, Chief Adept of the North Eastern Counties, delivered a talk prepared by Fra. Ken Bearpark, the Provincial Director of Studies. The presentation offered a detailed exploration of the 1st Grade certificate, revealing its deeper symbolism and its connections to the very foundations of the Order, far more than might first be assumed.
