On Monday 20 February 2023 the new District Grand Prefect, R WBro Brian Alan Ward, attended a meeting of the Invicta Council number 54 in Gillingham, in his first official visit as the new District Grand Prefect of Kent.

 The Council was opened in the degree of St Lawrence the Martyr and the District Grand Prefect was given the customary salutations to which he replied that he was delighted to attend the Invicta Council meeting on his first ever outing as the District Grand Prefect. He also confirmed that he intended to hold a social event in the form of “An afternoon at the Races” at his home in Folkestone on the 2 September 2023 and asked the Council to sponsor and support the event.

The Council was then adjourned in the degree of St Lawrence the Martyr and opened in the degree of Knights of Constantinople. WBro Jason Cameron-Potter then took the chair and conferred the degree on Bro Chris Doll in an excellent manner which included a great deal of noise created by the members present.
