Holy Royal Arch

Provincial Royal Arch Membership Team
Stisted Garden Fête

The Royal Arch was invited to enter a stand at this year’s
Stisted Garden Fete. The stand, which displayed banners
and leafl ets to raise Royal Arch awareness, was manned by
RA Rep Co-ordinators Andrew Johnson and Les Long, who
were on hand to answer any questions and enquiries relating
to the Royal Arch as well as adjudicating the ‘Bulls-eye’ and
‘Buzz Wire’ Challenge.
The successful competitors had their names entered into a prize draw
later in the afternoon.
A fun time was had by all as well as contributing £89 to the overall
total raised to enrich the lives of the residents of Stisted Hall

The Directors of Essex Mason were out in force at Stisted on the 14th July,
pictured here in front of their new ‘stand’ on the main fi eld, left to right;
