Make them Smile - a voluntary based Lincolnshire Children’s Charity - received a grant from the Grand Sovereign’s Care for Children Fund of £2,500. The money will help towards the wonderful work they do in providing support to children and young adults in the UK that are below 18 years of age who have a wide range of adverse medical/emotional conditions. The Charity also provides respite and holidays for young people and their families at their specially adapted holiday homes along the east coast at Golden Sands, Mablethorpe and at Butlins, Skegness.

 

Pictured presenting the cheque is the Intendant-General, R. III. KT. Steve Roberts, received by two of the Charity Trustees - Tony and Richard - at the Charity's respite holiday home at Butlins, Skegness which is shown below.

Heneage Preceptory 22 November 2023

A great night at Heneage Preceptory of Knights Templar at Grantham which got even better when Eminent Knight Steve Roberts, aka the Intendant-General of the Lincolnshire Division of the Red Cross of Constantine, was presented with a donation of £200 by the Trustees of the Lincolnshire pre-loved Regalia, Ivor Hallam and Mark Driffill.

 

Along with their wives, Ivor and Mark accept unwanted regalia for all the Masonic Orders which is then sold on after cleaning and any necessary refurbishment - the profits of which are then donated back on an equal share basis to every Masonic Order that operates in the Province of Lincolnshire, which in the case of the Red Cross will be added to the Benevolent Fund.

A definite win-win scenario, not least for those who benefit, be they Masonic or public recipients.

Thanks Bro. Knights for the donation and the service you provide.

The Rt. Ill. Intendant-General entered the Conclave in due form and was welcomed by the Acting Most Puissant Sovereign for the evening, P. Kt. Mike Knowles, and offered the baton. The Intendant-General received it with thanks and opened the Conclave. Duty done, he returned the baton to the Sovereign and the ceremony then proceeded with the enthronement of the new Sovereign, Eminent Viceroy, and Officers.

Following a splendid ceremony the Bro. Knights retired for the Festive Board where the usual Masonic Toasts were given. The Intendant-General said that it was a special pleasure to see the Provincial Grand Master/Grand Superintendent enthroned as the Most Puissant Sovereign showing the high regard for the Red Cross of Constantine Order. In his reply the new Most Puissant Sovereign, P. Kt. Graham Ives, remarked that he had been very lucky in Freemasonry and was particularly pleased to be a member of the Red Cross of Constantine an Order which strongly supported the Holy Royal Arch and was enjoying both the Order and the evening. He also gave particular thanks to P. Kt. Mike Knowles who had stood in a the last minute to conduct the ceremony – considered by many as one of the most challenging in Masonry.
