Bro Gerald Lovell PPSGD

Amongst other things, Bro Gerald has helped local causes and hospitals, is a Justice of the Peace, a blood donor and much more in the local community.

Gerald's great fundraising initiative has been the sale of specially designed motorsport-related philatelic first day covers, which he has been able to arrange for great and famous names in the sport to sign.

The covers have been sold around the globe and raised many thousands of pounds, which have been split between the Silverstone Recreational Association and other very worthy causes.

As a Mason, Gerald has been the Almoner of Silverstone Lodge No. 9877 since 2013. He also served as Almoner of Lodge of Fidelity No. 445 from 2011 to 2018

We congratulate Bro Gerald on his worthy achievement and thank him for his outstanding contributions in Freemasonry and beyond.

The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) is the home of Freemasonry in England, Wales, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and a number of Districts overseas.
