Attendance at Meetings in Chapter are intended to include all members of the Noble Company. Knights, Dames, and Esquires are welcomed, as are Honorary Knights, Honorary Dames, and Associates.
Those Knights, Dames, Esquires, and Associates Associate members unable to attend are expected to send an "absence fee" to their church or a worthy charity. The Augustan Society has been that charity for some members in some years, but it there is most definitely ''not'' a neither requirement nor expectation that it be the charity selected. The amount of the absence fee is determined by each member, but is normally expected to be greater than the sum of Augustan Society and annual oblation to the Noble Company dues.
No written history exists about the conduct of Meetings in Chapter, thus the Noble Company today is faced with building on what memories exist in the minds of senior members.
Election of the ''Magister Rosae'' requires a majority of the votes cast. As a result, multiple ballots may be required. All ballots and records of vote counts are to be destroyed immediately following the meeting.
Should the there be no Meeting in Chapter fail to announced by 30 April of each year, or if the meeting fails obtain a quorum, or if they should fail to elect a ''Magister Rosae'', then the Rose Administrator will conduct an election by mail in the manner or recent years. It is recommended that such meetings be called between October (Rose Day) and the end of April so that the Noble Company's ballots may share a mailing with the Society's ballots.
The new ''Magister Rosae'' will be installed immediately following his confirmation by the [[Board]], unless the previous ''Magister Rosae'' or Lieutenant ''Magister Rosae'' is elected, in which case confirmation may be presumed and they are installed immediately.
Activities of a ceremonial or religious nature may be included in the event at the discretion of the ''Magister Rosae'', pending adoption of guidelines.
