The Conclave enjoyed an excellent and distinguished turnout from the Province, setting an impressive tone for the evening. Taking pride of place were the Deputy Provincial Grand Supreme Ruler, R. Wy. Bro. Neil E. A. Watkin, and V. Wy. Bro. Dr. Silverio L. Ostrowski, who attended as Grand Visitor, thereby honouring Rocheberie 399 Conclave with his presence. They were joined by a strong and supportive delegation of Provincial Officers, whose attendance added both distinction and significance to the proceedings.

Such a notable gathering brought considerable weight to the admission of Bro. Samual Barrie into the rank of Prince of the Order. The presence of so many senior and respected brethren not only highlighted the importance of the occasion but also demonstrated the esteem in which the Conclave is held. It created an atmosphere of pride and encouragement, ensuring that Bro. Barrie’s advancement was marked in a truly memorable way.

The ceremony itself was conducted with care and dignity. Supreme Ruler Sebastian Samperi presided confidently, guiding the proceedings with assurance and clarity. He was well supported by V. Wy. Bro. John Starley, R. Wy. Bro. David Liddington, and Wy. Bro. Hosey Davoudian, all of whom contributed to the smooth and effective delivery of the ritual. Their combined efforts ensured a ceremony that was both meaningful and well-executed.

Following the formal proceedings, the brethren gathered for a lively festive board. This provided an opportunity for relaxation and fellowship, with good humour and conversation shared among all present. The evening concluded on a warm and convivial note, reflecting the unity and strength of the Conclave and leaving a lasting impression on those in attendance.
