The presentation that took place on Thursday 5th May 2008, by Robin Wilson, Provincial Grand Master for Nottinghamshire, to the Nottingham Synchronised Skaters Academy was a reminder of a very happy and successful event held at the National Ice Centre in June 2007. On that occasion, in front of the largest number of Freemasons ever assembled in the County, Robin Wilson gave a cheque for almost £4 million to the President of one of the Masonic Charities to help finance medical treatment for needy Freemasons and their families. Part of the entertainment on that day was a demonstration by the young members of the NSSA, whose skill provided a fitting start to the day’s celebrations.
