Refreshment after Labour |
The reason for the outing was not only to attend the District Meeting for Surrey, but to witness the appointment of a new Deputy D.G.P. Frank Powell following the retirement of John Bryant who had held to office as Deputy for 6yrs. |
A total of around 100 members and guests from all around the UK attended the meeting, and 75 Brethren later enjoyed an excellent four course Banquet in the company of friends from both the District of Surrey and other Districts visiting the meeting. |
