What a great evening we all had in January 2020 just six weeks before the UK went in to lockdown as a result of Covid. We had 72 people attend this celebration of Robert Burns who was a famous Freemason, our attendees were treated to the piper leading the procession in to the main hall lead by WBro Jim Mail and the captured Haggis, prepared and cooked by the Chef and carried in by the WM.
W Bro Jim Mail gave the address to the haggis in his wonderful Scottish style and with only a few attendees understanding the words he spoke from Robert Burns poetry.
The addition of a Piper certainly made the evening feel more enjoyable and who was Blu Plenty hired for the evening treated us all to 3 more tunes at the end of the meal.
Another highlight of the evening was seeing the WM trying to play the bagpipes, he certainly was a good sport but don’t give up the day job Richard.
Later in the evening and after the raffle, our WM presented a cheque to “Dial a ride” for £500 and this was further enhanced when the WM from the Carnarvon Mark Lodge also presented a cheque for another £500 on behalf of our lodges.
The final presentation was made by the Immediate past Master who presented a cheque to Bitton Scouts towards their summer camp.
After good Food, great company and wonderful entertainment, everyone went home overjoyed.
WBro Jim Mail and WBro Philip Turner presented at WBro Richard Dredge’s year as WM.
