Is it just me, or has the last year gone very quickly? It’s been a busy year across the Province but also a very happy and enjoyable one.
W. Brother Chris Jones has completed his magnificent fund-raising challenge walking the entire coastline of England, Scotland and Wales – and what a journey he has had! He has been a true ambassador for mental health awareness, the Masonic Charitable Foundation. Freemasonry and our Province. Welcome home, Chris and enjoy a well-earned rest over the Christmas period.
Next year, of course, we look forward to the culmination of the 2025 Festival. The finale at the Lincolnshire Showground on Saturday 13th September promises to be an excellent evening of celebration combined with the ‘big reveal’ of our final total.
Finally, I reflect on those who will not be with us this Christmas. Whilst they are no longer physically with us, they will remain in our hearts and thoughts forever.
May I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful, happy and healthy New Year.

“Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values. It is the time we realise most deeply that the more love is expended, the more there is of it for others.”
Thomas S. Monson
