During the ceremony each Member will be called to the main platform by a member of Council where they will be presented with their certificate by the President.

An ‘on the stage’ photograph will be taken of every new Member with the President during the Ceremony, which can be purchased direct from Success Photography.

All Members and their guests are warmly invited to attend a drinks and canapés reception in the Reception Hall following the ceremony.
