Rose Croix News Districts of
North and South Essex

orth Essex Rose Croix has had a tremendous year with 20 Perfection
Nceremonies and 22 joining members giving us a net gain of 9 members
for 2017/18 across our 18 Chapters. Congratulations to everyone for their
efforts in achieving this, with Candidates for Perfection and joining members
already lined up for 2018/19.
Congratulations to Barry Pewter who was promoted to the 31° in July. The
Inspector General was delighted to be with him at Supreme Council on the
day to help him celebrate his well earned promotion.
The annual Service of Evensong will take place at St Peters in the Fields,
Bocking on Sunday 28th October at 4pm overseen by the Reverend Tim
Barnes in his own unique style. Refreshments will be available following the
Service at Howard Hall and booking forms will be available during Summer.

nspector General, V.Ill.Bro. Paul Tarrant, 33° has been pleased to visit many of the Chapters in South
IEssex and is looking forward to visiting the remainder during this year. Unfortunately, ‘The Beast
from The East’ caused Wickford Chapter’s meeting to be abandoned.
At the meeting of Thames Estuary Chapter No 634 held on 10th April the Inspector General was
delighted to present a certificate to Ill. Bro. Spencer Fenn, 32°, to commemorate 50 years in the
Order. Spencer moved to Warwickshire many years ago and pursued his Rose Croix interests there
but elected to have his certificate presented by V.Ill. Bro. Paul in his mother chapter. It was a very
enjoyable meeting which also saw the Perfection of E&P. Bro. Lee Taylor.

Our next District event is the
Annual Service of Evensong
which will be held at Upminster
on Sunday 21st October
2018, followed by a buffet
at Upminster Masonic Hall.
Please put the date in your
calendars now. This is a very
special occasion and it would
be splendid to see a good
turnout on the day.

Recorder - Ill.Bro. Eric Terry
