Summer Barbecue:
This years Summer Barbecue was very well attended, it was not as hot as last year, however it was still a great success making a surplus on the day of £400 for the Improvement Fund. A big thank you must go to the W/Bro who arranged the Barbecue and for allowing us to use his garden.
Thanks are particular due to a W/Bro. from Bradley Lodge who, once again, arranged a raffle with many prizes donated from the brethren.
Meeting 1st June 2004
This was the last meeting for this season, what a great night it was to. It was really good to see the Brother who now lives in the sunnier part of Europe, a very warm welcome back to the Lodge. For the Brother who has now made it to a MM also a very warm welcome on what you achieved and we all look forward to you partaking in all the Lodge activates. The Brothers who also played a part in the evening, carried out their roles with great confidence and they must also be congratulated. It was a real great evening.
