Attendance at the Grand Chapter is restricted to those whose names appear on this return. The return must include the full names and contact details, including email addresses for the First Principal, Treasurer, and Scribe E., and must be signed by the First Principal. The regulation applies to various jurisdictions, including Bedfordshire, Berkshire, and others, ensuring consistent compliance across these areas.
