On 23rd July 2025, the Ever Green Remembrance Conclave 229 held a fantastic meeting that will be remembered for years. The members gathered with excitement and pride to witness the induction of Bro Joffre Reynolds. This was a special moment, as welcoming a new member always brings fresh energy and enthusiasm to the Conclave.

The highlight of the evening was the presence of the Warwickshire Supreme Ruler, R. Wy. Bro. Dennis Freshwater. He attended the meeting to present a very important certificate. Wy. Bro John Roberts received the Grand Conclave certificate, a mark of recognition for his dedication and work within the order. The applause from the members showed how much John is respected by everyone.

Another key moment was the presentation of the Traveling Arrow. This Arrow is a symbol that travels through various Warwickshire Conclaves, connecting them and reminding everyone of the unity within the order. This time, it was handed to the Conclave’s Supreme Ruler, John Roberts, who received it with pride. The tradition of the Traveling Arrow continues to bring different Conclaves together, strengthening friendships and bonds.

After the official business and ceremonies, everyone retired to the Haig Hotel in Balsall Common. Here, the festive board awaited them with a superb four-course meal, all for £25.00. The meal was delicious, and the atmosphere was full of laughter, good conversation, and camaraderie. Old friends caught up, and new friendships were made. The festive board is always a highlight of any Conclave meeting, and this night was no exception.

The 23rd July 2025 meeting of Ever Green Remembrance Conclave 229 will be remembered for its warm welcomes, meaningful traditions, and the joy of sharing a meal together. The induction of Bro Joffre Reynolds, the presentation of the Grand Conclave certificate to Wy. Bro John Roberts, and the journey of the Traveling Arrow all made the evening truly special. The Conclave continues to thrive, showing the importance of friendship, tradition, and community spirit at every gathering.
