Bro James Marsh for a wonderful rendition of the Intermediate Degrees.* E. & P. Bro Wayne McGill, MWS, who delivered both the First Point and Third Point superbly.* Ill Bro Adrian Wagstaff 32°, whose delivery of the Second Point, together with the Explanation of the Collar and Signs, was, as always, excellent.I was privileged to conduct the Accolade, with the Money Chapter ring once again playing its part in sealing another Prince.Huge congratulations to Bradley Brown, son of Ill Bro Piers Brown 30°, who becomes the District of West Kent’s newest Prince 👑 and will retain that distinction until our Chapters reconvene in September.Congratulations also to E. & P. Bro Perry Godwin, who received his 18° Supreme Council Certificate.

🎖️ Ceremony & Standards 🎖️The quality of a ceremony is rarely accidental.Behind every meeting lies careful preparation, attention to detail, committed officers, and a shared determination to present our ceremonies with dignity and purpose.Much of this work takes place quietly and without recognition, yet it is through these efforts that standards are maintained and memorable experiences are created for candidates and members alike.The pursuit of excellence is not about perfection. It is about preparation, commitment, and taking pride in our work.Thank you to all those who contribute to the success of our Chapters.#WestKentRoseCroix #CeremonyFellowshipFriendship #RoseCroix #CeremonyAndStandards #QualityRitual #WestKent #Freemasonry ...

This evening I have the pleasure of attending Westwood Chapter at Bromley, my Mother Chapter 🌹❌The meeting is particularly significant as it marks the final gathering of a District of West Kent Chapter during the current season, which commenced on 1st July 2025 and concludes on 30th June 2026.The evening will include a Perfection Ceremony for someone very close to me, and I am greatly looking forward to welcoming him into our wonderful Order and sharing in what I hope will be a memorable experience.There is always something special about returning to one’s Mother Chapter, particularly when surrounded by friends and Brethren with whom so many happy memories have been made over the years.An evening of ceremony, fellowship and friendship awaits, together with the opportunity to capture a few photographs of what I hope will be a very special occasion.What more could a chap ask for?#WestKentRoseCroix#WestwoodChapter764#PerfectionCeremony#RoseCroix#Bromley#MotherChapter#CeremonyFellowshipFriendship#TraditionAndProgress#TheEaglesHaveLanded ...

Another wonderful visit to Biggin Hill Chapter No. 936 this evening at Sidcup.The Brethren enjoyed an excellent Perfection Ceremony. The Intermediate Degrees were delivered by Ill Bro Adrian Wagstaff 32°, who was superb throughout. A first-class First Point followed, conducted by Ill Bro Stewart Bartle 31°, whilst the Most Wise Sovereign delivered the Second Point, together with the Explanation of the Collar and the Signs, to a very high standard.Huge congratulations to Keith Cass, who becomes the District of West Kent’s newest Prince 👑.It was an absolute pleasure to be involved in the ceremony and to perform the Accolade, with the Money Chapter ring once again at hand to seal another Prince and continue a tradition that quietly links our Chapters across the District.As always, it was equally enjoyable to break bread and eat salt with so many friends afterwards 🍞🧂Well done to all the Brethren involved in a thoroughly enjoyable evening of ceremony, fellowship and friendship 👏📸 More photographs from the evening can be found in the Members’ Area.📸 Where photographs are taken during our meetings and events, Members and guests are always informed in advance and invited to step aside should they prefer not to appear in photographs or on social media.

🌿 A Moment for Reflection 🌿The work of the Order continues quietly between meetings.The lessons we encounter, the friendships we form, and the ideas we explore are not confined to the Chapter room. They accompany us into our daily lives, inviting reflection long after the ceremony has ended.Sometimes the most meaningful progress is made not during a meeting, but in the quiet moments between them.As summer unfolds, perhaps take a moment to reflect upon a lesson, symbol, or conversation that has stayed with you.What thought from Rose Croix has remained with you recently?#WestKentRoseCroix #rosecroix #ceremonyfellowshipfriendship #reflection #contemplation #WestKent #freemasonry #AncientAndAcceptedRite ...

🍷 Fellowship Matters 🍷Good company remains one of the great strengths of the Order.Whilst our ceremonies provide inspiration and reflection, it is often the friendships formed around the festive board that leave the most lasting impression.Conversations shared, experiences exchanged, and laughter enjoyed amongst friends all contribute to making Rose Croix such a rewarding part of Freemasonry.Many members join for the ceremonies but stay for the fellowship.What aspect of Rose Croix fellowship do you enjoy most?#WestKentRoseCroix #rosecroix #ceremonyfellowshipfriendship #fellowshipmatters #fraternalfriendship #WestKent #freemasonry #festiveboard ...
