| All the addresses were word perfect, obviously a lot of hard work had been put in. The ceremony was enjoyed by W.Bro. Paul Snape the P.G.M’s Special Representative and believe it or not 8 other Grand Officers. | |
| The festive board was equally good. Our Chef Alistair producing one of his excellent Steak Pies. A bottle of Whisky & wine were then raffled off. Guess who won both of them. In fairness he did ask for the wine to be re drawn. Have you guessed yet. Yes it was David Rotheram Representing the P.G.M. Some people have all the luck. | |
