“A Ladies Night to Remember”

A superb evening ensued with excellent food and drink and first class entertainment provided by the girls from ABBA Gold, and Gary “Woody” Woodward, who had the dance floor packed from the first bar to the last chord. The evening was supported by many of the lodges in the Province with some members and their partners travelling from Torrevieja in the south and Valencia in the North. V. W. Brother Bill Russell gave a very eloquent toast to the Ladies and W. Bro Ken Cornforth gave a fine rendition of the Ladies song, whilst W. Bro Philip Bowick made a lovely job of presenting a bouquet of flowers to Florence, the Masters wife, whose response to the Ladies toast was witty, entertaining and heartfelt.
A super prize draw made 720€ profit which will be donated to the Lodge charities.
