This is the webpage of the Stroud & District Province of the R.A.O.B GLE. It is the Provinces 60th anniversary in 2013, the PGP of the Province Bro Maqsood Ahmad R.O.H has various events planned for the year.
The main force behind the Provinces fundraising the last few years is Bro Sean "The Sheep" Garland R.O.H
We have raised money the last few years for MacMillan Nurses, Gloucestershire Autistic Society, Cotswold Care Hospice, Anthony Nolan Trust and the Lillybrooke Oncology Ward-Cheltenham General Hospital.
Bro Maqsood will be raising money in 2013 for the Hope for Tomorrow Charity, which raises money to fund mobile chemotheraphy units
Our Grand Primo Bro Tony Allen R.O.H from the Worcestershire Province is raising money for the Orchid Charity which deals with many male cancers eg penile and prostrate.

DUE TO THE EDITOR'S TWO OPERATIONS LAST YEAR. THE WEBSITE FELL BY THE WAYSIDE UNFORTUNATELY. WE MUST THANK BRO RON STARKEY FOR HELPING US SET IT UP INITIALLY.
THE INCOMING PGP FOR 2013 BRO MAQSOOD WANTED TO USE ANY RESOURCE POSSIBLE IN THE PROVINCES JUBILEE YEAR. HENCE WE HAVE REVAMPED THIS WEBSITE. ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ITS IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE GREATLY WELCOME.
IT IS THE PROVINCES 60TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2013, WHAT MAKES IT EXTRA SPECIAL FOR PGL THIS YEAR. IS THAT BRO BRIAN GAY R.O.H HM IS DEPUTY PROVINCIAL GRAND PRIMO. BRO BRIAN IS THE LONGEST COMPLIENT MEMBER OF THE PROVINCE AND WILL CELEBRATE RECEIVING HIS 60TH YEAR OF MEMBERSHIP EMBLEM SOMETIME AROUND APRIL 2013.
BRO MAQSOOD IS AIMING TO RAISE MONEY FOR HIS CHOSEN CHAIRT, THAT BEING THE HOPE FOR TOMORROW CHARITY. WHICH RAISES MONEY TO FUND THE BUILDING OF MOBILE CHEMOTHERAPY UNITS IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES. HIS OTHER AIM IS TO TRY AND GET LAPSED MEMBERS FROM AROUND STROUD BACK INTO ATTENDING LODGES ON A REGULAR BASIS. HOPEFULLY THAT ALONG WITH A FEW INITIATIONS WILL STRENGTHEN THE LODGES IN THE PROVINCE.
