On Saturday 25 July the Lodge of Perseverance joined with the St Crispin’s Brass Band to provide an afternoon of entertainment for the residents of Devonshire Court.   
The afternoon followed a tried and tested format used by Leicestershire Lodges and indeed Fitzwilliam from our own Province.   Worshipful Master W Bro Andrew Watson welcomed the residents and introduced the band.   During the proceedings Prosecco and Northamptonshire strawberries were served to the residents who also enjoyed a free raffle.  
 
At the conclusion of the concert W Bro John Kernick (a resident with a 50 year Masonic career) thanked the Lodges for a most enjoyable afternoon.
 
If any of the Lodges in the Province would like to do something similar please speak to W Bro David Watson  (the Provincial Treasurer and a Trustee of RMBI) who would be please to advise.

The event organised by David Jackson and now in its third year, was held at Peterborough Milton Golf Club on Tuesday 4th August and involved thirteen teams of three golfers each playing for the Trophy. Teams came from other provinces as well as Craft, Mark and KT.

The Royal Arch executive were in attendance all afternoon to support the event which involved an element of fund raising for charity. Over £200.00 was raised on the day.
