Dress
Formal is usual for a Ladies Festival Gala Dinner, namely – Mess Undress or DJs with black ties, both with miniatures. No. 1 Uniform with bow tie & medals (not Masonic jewels). Evening or cocktail dress for the Ladies.
Seating
Seating will be designed around the number attending. Please indicate your seating preferences on the booking form, and they will be accommodated 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 of fundraising.
