“Inter Provincial Donations in support of East Kent 2025 and West Kent 2026 Festivals.”
The Provincial Grand Master is delighted to announce that we have received a generous donation of £30,000 in support of the East Kent
2025 Festival, from the Province of West Kent. We likewise have made a donation of £30,000 to the West Kent 2026 Festival in a traditional exchange of donations.
R.WBro Neil Hamilton Johnstone said ” We are most grateful to RWBro. Mark Estaugh and the Province of West Kent for this very generous donation. Whilst acknowledging that the exchange of funds is symbolic, it demonstrates our commitment to continue working together as Provinces, showing mutual support for our Communities”
The 2025 Festival is nearing its closing date and the Provincial Grand Master is encouraged by the immense efforts of the Brethren in working towards our goal of £3.5M and looks forward to announcing the final total at the Festival Closing Ball on Saturday 29th November 2025 at the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone, details of which will be circulated in due course. Your continued efforts are very much appreciated in this final push.
