Brethren all, greetings to one and all.

I must report to you that our esteemed and ever popular Deputy District Grand Prefect - V. W. Bro Steve Warwick has informed me that he wishes to stand down from his Office as of our Annual meeting in November.

He has held the role of Deputy for 14 years and, from my position, he has been a tower of strength, a continual support and provider of much sage and positive advice - I shall miss his wise counsel and more importantly his company.  I am sure you will all have your own happy memories of his visits to your Councils and his fellowship in the bar and I shall have more (much more!) to say in November.

I am at the moment in the process of arranging for Officers for next year so when that is complete and a successor has accepted the office I shall write to you further with that announcement.

Thanks Steve and all best wishes to you.

A message from V.W. Bro Steven Warwick

It has been an honour to serve as Deputy District Grand Prefect in this wonderful District of London but all good things must come to an end.

Under the leadership of R.W.Bro Colin it has been a period of great success and innovation. We had our challenges during the Covid pandemic but rose above them by the introduction of clever, and in some ways groundbreaking, initiatives. We have emerged as the largest Province in the Order and are continuing to go from strength to strength.

 I feel that the time is now right for me to stand aside and allow someone else to bring a fresh perspective for the future.  I would like to thank each and every member of the District for their friendship and kindness and I shall, of course, continue to take a very active part in our activities. I wish you all well for what, I am sure, will be a very exciting time to come.
