Dear Brethren,
As you are all too well aware, today’s scheduled meeting of Grand Conclave has been struck down by the virus, so we are only able to mourn and celebrate, virtually, the passing of our late and great Grand Master, M.Ill. Bro. Stephen Michael Ayres, J.P., and the declaration of the now M.Ill. Bro. Jonathan Charles Roberts as his successor.
You will have received from your Scribe Preceptor both our new Grand Master’s first communication and the address from our Grand Chaplain, R.Ill. Bro. Louis Keats, PGWyP, and I join with him in asking you to remember in particular, from our own Region, Bill Neve, Arthur Craddock and Gordon Gentry, all great servants of Freemasonry in general and our Order in particular .
I am sure you will also want to congratulate those members of the Region who have been confirmed in Grand office, promoted, or appointed for the first time, namely
David Boswell Grand Worthy Preceptor John Wickes Grand Treasurer
Jeffrey Conway Grand Registrar Christopher Burgess Dep.G.Treas.
Geoffrey Keer Asst.G. Marshall Colin Ringham Grand Steward
Donald Woodgate Grand Steward Peter Coles P.G.Deputy Marshal
Nick Le-Grys P.A.G. Marshal Bill Irwin P.G.Keeper of the P.
Enjoy your time in office, and may we all meet again soon, safe and in good health!
Very sincerely and fraternally yours,
Tom Auber

REGION OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES
It is with great regret and a sense of personal loss of a friend that I have to announce that M.Ill.Bro. Stephen M. Ayres, J.P., our Grand Master since 2011, was summoned to the Grand Conclave above on 31st March 2020 at the age of 77. He had previously announced that he would obligate and install R.Ill.Bro. Jonathan Roberts, PGExP, Grand Marshall, as his successor at the meeting of Grand Conclave at Leicester on Saturday 27th June 2020. Due to the current coronavirus situation, that meeting will not now take place, and further details of the installation will be published when known. In the mean time, our Deputy Grand Master, R.Ill.Bro. Roger Joseph Ernest O’Brien is in charge.
