Our history. Band of Brothers
- Band of Brothers was formed on the 27th October 2019 by two Freemasons attending a charity ride. Steve Demwell & Steve Howe.
- As a group of Masonic riders along with others who joined we rode together for 2 years raising lots of money for charity in the process.
- We were then invited by the Widows Sons Kernow Grand Chapter to join the MRA (Masonic Riders Association)
- The Band of Brothers Grand Chapter of The Widows Sons was Chartered and formed on 11th September 2021 by Kernow Grand Chapter .
- Our members are Freemasons that belong to Lodges within the Province West and East Kent, Essex and London, extending the hands of friendship across all provinces in Kent and surrounding areas.
- In Freemasonary there are no boundaries that's why we ride all areas.
- We are the only Grand Chapter of The Widows Sons in Kent.
