So I said to Mervyn, what did you think of the ceremony………………………………………

or was he just joining in with the Christmas spirit?

More to follow……….. John, A.Prov.G.M.

And what a busy evening it was for the Brethren of Union 171 in Uppermill; even visiting APGM WBro John Smith was made to sing for his supper by not only taking part in the Advancement Ceremony of Bro Chris Kendall and presenting a MBF 2021 Festival Jewel to WM Ian Wolstencroft but also being a partridge in a pear tree !

Over 60 Brethren and their Ladies sat down for their Christmas Meal, thoroughly enjoyed by all. Entertainment was provided by the Boarshurst Silver Brass Band from Greenfield who played a selection of traditional Christmas Carols and sing-alongs with everyone joining in enthusiastically.

A  good time was had by all !
