Royal Ark Mariner Annual Assembly 2025
On Monday 8th December, over 1,000 Brethren from Provinces within the UK and Overseas gathered at Freemasons Hall, Great Queen Street, London, for the Royal Ark Mariner Annual Assembly.
The Presiding Officer was Deputy Grand Master, R W Bro Professor Denovan Keith Wilson.
Once the general business of the meeting was completed, the PO invested in the region of 140 recipients of Royal Ark Mariner Grand Rank (RAMGR) from UK Provinces and Overseas.
Within the Province of Worcestershire, three Brethren were the recipients of RAMGR as follows:
W Bro Kerry Parker
W Bro Paul Wong
W Bro Stuart Cameron
The PO then gave a stirring address to the Annual Assembly before it was closed in due form.
The Brethren then retired to a noisy and enjoyable Festive Board.
The Province of Worcestershire was well represented with 24 Brethren attending the Meeting, and 22 attending the Festive Board.
House of Worship Provincial Donations 2026
As in previous years, the RW Provincial Grand Master has confirmed his intention to donate £1,000 to be shared by up to four Houses of Worship in January 2026.
Brethren of the Province are therefore invited to nominate for consideration, a House of Worship with which you have a connection.
Any nominated House of Worship should be a registered charity, and any donation should preferably be directed towards a specific project (or part thereof) , rather than into general funds
(Capped at £250.00 per donation).
The Provincial Executive will review all of the nominations, and the successful Houses of Worship will be announced at the General Purposes Meeting scheduled for 21st January 2026.
Please let me have your nominations at your earliest convenience.

Provincial Grand Charity Steward
