Adrian Joyce, head of the Rose Croix order in Lincolnshire, writes: “We had a very special and rare occasion at Horncastle Masonic centre for Tennyson Sovereigns Rose Croix Chapter to present Alan Mawer with his 30th Degree patent.
“It’s most unusual for these appointments to be made outside London, but because Alan’s health made it impossible for him to travel to the capital Supreme Council granted special permission for me to do it in our Province. I was assisted in the ceremony by Mike Carter and Steve Dickson. It was a wonderful night we all enjoyed.”
