2018 Ladies' Festival

The members of the East Hertfordshire Lodge No 3748 and their family and friends once again travelled to The Bull Hotel in Gerrard's Cross for this year's Ladies' Festival. However, this year was an event with a difference due to our Worshipful Master and Festival President, W Bro Stephen Bull simultaneously being the Master of his Mother Lodge, St Andrews Stockwell Lodge No 6453. As such, the two Lodges joined forces for what would be a bumper 2018 Ladies' Festival!

The evening started in grand style with a drinks reception (with complimentary glasses of Prosecco for the ladies) before all sat down for a sumptuous three-course meal and wine.

After everyone had their fill, the toasts were conducted in excellent order with the Festival President toasting the very good health of all the ladies and partners present. The President's Lady, Janice Cheadle, responded on behalf of the ladies and thanked everyone for attending. A raffle was then held, which managed to raise the impressive sum of £1,000! The proceeds from this will be split evenly between both Lodges, for donations to local charities.

Formalities over, nothing remained but to dance the night away before those with enough staying power retired to the hotel bar for one or two (or more) night caps. All in all, it was an excellent evening and all are looking forward to the next event in 2019!
