2012 Provincial Grand Secretaries Report
4th Provincial Assembly of Wessex, hosted by Bishop Leofric Court No. 58
Held in Okehampton, Devon on the 18th. May 2012
THE PROVINCE OF WESSEX 2012
RW. PGM, Grand Officers, and brethren all.
It is now my pleasure to report on the development of the Province of Wessex in particular.
Since
the
conception
of
the
Province
of
Wessex
commencing
31st.
May
2008
together
with
the
Consecration
of
our
first Court, namely Malmesbury Court No. 100, many new and exciting developments have taken place.
For
example
on
the
15th.
August
2009
we
Consecrated
our
second
Court,
Bishop
Leofric
No.
58
in
the
County
of
Devon.
Meeting
new
and
enthusiastic
Companions
that
have
taken
to
heart
the
concept
of
the
Order.
And
on
the
23rd. of January just this year we were privileged to found the third Court, “The Court of Æþelbald No. 62.
These
Companions
of
Keynsham
are
to
behold,
I
think
you
are
all
due
for
a
treat.
When
the
Court
meeting
follows
this
Provincial
Court
closing
you
will
see
how
dedicated
and
professional
they
are.
Our
RWProv.GM
and
myself
did
attend
their
1st.
Regular
meeting
in
March
when
they
performed
an
Instruction
ceremony
that
was
entirely
produced
by
their
own
members.
we
were
both
impressed
by
the
standard
of
the
ritual
and
enthusiasm
for
the
progress
of
“The Order of Athelstan”
They
have
decided
as
a
team
to
write
down
not
only
their
names
and
other
personal
details
but
most
interestingly
to
report
on
the
Consecration
Day
as
recorded
from
memory
of
that
occasion,
to
be
laid
down
and
sealed
behind
their
Warrant
to
be
read
out
in
Open
Court
50
years
later.
I
think
you
will
agree
that
idea
hits
the
spot.
I
only
wish
that
other
orders
that
I
belong
to
had
done
the
same,
making
it
easy
for
the
Court
Historian
whoever
it
may
be
to
record
that memorable day.
OK
as
for
the
future,
much
further
success
will
follow,
but
not
to
hasten
to
add,
withought
considerable
time
and
effort
on
behalf
of
our
hard
working
RWPGM.
-----
Willing
to
pursue
any
valid
lead
to
spark
interest
wherever
within his Province the “Order of Athelstan” is mentioned.
A
new
Court
in
Cornwall
is
making
good
progress
under
the
direction
of
the
Founding
organiser.
W.Bro.
K.
Barry
Chalkley,
MBE.
The
new
Court
will
be
named
“King
Hywel
of
Cornwall”
meeting
at
Perranporth,
to
be
Consecrated
this
September
on
the
25th.
of
the
month,
not
to
hasten
to
say
to
be
confused
with
Magonsaetan`s
“Hywel Dda, they are two totally different persons.
And
hear
before
us
the
Master
of
“The
Court
of
Æþelbald”
,
W.Bro.
Mervyn
S
Western
has
made
good
progress
in
forming
a
Court
in
the
North
Somerset
area
in
Burnham
-on
-
Sea
.
To
be
called
ÆĐELRED
REX.
He
has
secured
quality Companions and the petition has been granted by Grand Court being Court
No. 66, so the Consecration date is to be held in Nailsea Masonic centre on the 3rd. July this year.
And
as
a
surprise
to
all
of
us
living
in
this
area
A
new
Court
in
the
centre
of
Bristol,
Park
Street
to
be
named
“Bricgstowe”
the
anciant
name
for
the
city.
This
formation
has
been
secured
by
W.Bro.
Colin
Lowther
who
has
infiltrated
the
closed
Balwin
Encampment
that
has
been
in
existence
for
some
considerable
time
within
Bristol.
We
are
close
to
the
20
unique
members
that
Wessex
demands
for
the
construction
of
a
new
Court
and
the
Craft
PGM
and
DepPGM
of
Bristol
have
agreed
that
“The
Order
of
Athelstan”
will
be
allowed
to
use
the
magnificent
Temples
that
are
so
unique
and
palatious.
I
urge
you
not
to
miss
this
Consecration
brethren.
The
date
that
has
been
penciled in: Is for November this year.
There
are,
as
you
may
guess
many
more
willing
helpers
in
the
Province
of
Wessex,
prominent
and
influential
Companions
in
other
Orders,
all
instilling
the
premise
“Quality
against
Quantity”
.
That
is
so
in
the
South
Devon
and Dorchester area to Wiltshire to the Isles of Scilly all progressing well to make Wessex a strong and
prosperous Province.
And finely, - may Wessex continue to excite all who are members of
"The Order of Athelstan". To progress with enthusiasm and seal, and be proud that
we
the
members, have been privileged to be part of this new and exclusive Order.
That R.W. ProvGMaster
and Brethren that is my report.
