Many Lodge members across the Province enhance their enjoyment of Freemasonry by being active within other Masonic Orders. From time to time we receive news from them, and whilst this publication is not a forum for the promotion of such Orders, we nevertheless acknowledge the part they play, and are pleased to allocate a little space for their reports when available.

Here is a nice report from one of those Orders, the full title of which is “The Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine and the Orders of the Holy Sepulchre and of St John the Evangelist”. Colloquially it is referred to as “The Red Cross of Constantine”. The Order has seventeen Conclaves meeting within Kent, and relates a period in history under Constantine the Great, who was Roman Emperor in AD 313. For further information about the Order please contact the Divisional Recorder Reg Smith on 01634 300598 or at rs006e0523@blueyonder.co.uk (Ed)

Pentangle Conclave No147, Rochester. The members having agreed that £1000 of the Conclave’s charity money should be dispersed to worthy causes, the Most Puissant Sovereign Alan Woodcock, and the Recorder of the Conclave Reg Smith, visited The Kent Autistic Trust in Gillingham, to present a cheque for £250. Further cheques of £250 each, were donated to the Masonic Trout and Salmon Fishing Club, the Kent Venture Boat (see issue 44. Ed), and the Sickle Cell Society, each being poorly recognised organisations that do a tremendous amount of work within the and Salmon Fishing Club, the local community.
