Yesterday I had the very great pleasure of travelling to Brentwood in Essex to be Toastmaster (and DJ services later) for St Cedd Lodge Masonic Ladies Night. And my first visit working alongside the wonderful staff at The Marygreen Manor Hotel.
A great night was had by all of the Ladies, Brethren and Guests with some really great speeches, followed by Raffle and Auction charity raising for a very worthwhile and special cause, 'ADDUP'!
Thank you for inviting me to your very special evening and allowing me to pay a small part in your celebrations!
