W. Bro Nigel Dickens of Kingsley Lodge 2431

Nigel was initiated into Apollo Lodge 7886(EC) in the District of Cyprus in October 1988 while serving in the RAF, but because of his posting back to the UK in 1990 and the arrival of his first daughter, his progression in Freemasonry paused for a time.

However, on leaving the RAF in 2002 and settling back in Northampton, he became a joining member of Kingsley Lodge, working his way through the ranks to become Master in 2011. He is currently Lodge Mentor.

Nigel was Exalted into Kingsley Chapter in 2007 and is presently 2nd Principal. He is also a member of Northampton Castle Mark and Victory Preceptory No 207 Knights Templar and is currently the Deputy Commander of the Provincial Priors Bodyguard.

Nigel married his wife Helen in 1979 and they have two grown up daughters. Since leaving the RAF, he has been working as an IT and Information Security specialist and is currently a Cyber Security Consultant.

We are very pleased to welcome Nigel to our Provincial Communications Team.
