Seating
Seating will be designed around the numbers attending. Please indicate on the booking form your seating preferences and these will be met wherever possible.
During the Gala Dinner, there will be appropriate toasts and readings, background music and probably some out of tune singing (it’s a tradition). There will also be the inevitable raffle – for which contributions on the day will be most welcome.
This event will help raise funds for our Masonic and non-Masonic charities alike. And the WM hopes that you will be able to support his years’ fundraising.
