Thank you to all our Guests, Visitors and Old Bromsgrovians that attended, it was a very successful evening and it was great that so many of you came and braved the cold....and that was just during dinner due to the heating not working!!

Thank you to all those that helped arrange and organise the evening, you know who you all are. I have created a link to an electronic copy of the Menu card on the tables, as requested, as it does explain the history of the School and Lodge so well. Thank you to David Cariss for his efforts with this and everything else he does for the Lodge.

I hope that you will join us again soon either at our next meeting or event.

Our next meeting is Friday 17th December and It is almost upon us.

The Old Bromsgrovian Lodge would like to invite you to a White Table Evening to celebrate our 275th meeting and share Christmas greetings with all our friends, families and guests.

The PGM, the Chairman of Governors and the Headmaster will be attending as well as our ladies, friends, Masonic and others, including prospective members for the very reasonable price of £20 (fully inclusive as usual).

We can promise you a good time and convivial evening.

On this special occasion we will open the Lodge for a very brief meeting at 6pm. Our Guests will then be invited to a presentation within the Lodge at approx 7pm,
followed by a sparkling reception in the dinning hall at 7.30 for a few Carols before dinner at 8pm.

Should you have any questions please email the Lodge Secretary by clicking HERE.

GENTLEMEN’S BOXING EVENING IN SUPPORT OF APPEAL 2011

W Bro Vic Southan is promoting his 35th Boxing night on

Tuesday 30th November 2010 at the

KINGFISHER COUNTRY CLUB
KIDDERMINSTER ROAD, WALL HEATH, WEST MIDLANDS DY6 0EN

In aid of Appeal 2011 (Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys)

The evening will commence with a three course dinner followed by 10 bouts of championship boxing, featuring many young boxers who hope to be selected for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Over many years, W Bro Southan has raised thousands of pounds for various charities through promoting boxing evenings but sadly this event will be his 35th and last, and he therefore wants it to be his most successful.

He is looking for sponsors at £25 per bout, programme advertising at £50 per advert and raffle prize donations.

Dress code is lounge suits or dinner jackets and the evening will begin
at 19.15 for 20.00.

Tickets are £35 per person.

If you have been to one of W Bro Vic’s boxing evenings before, then you will  know that this will be an event not to be missed, and if you haven’t, then  this will be your last opportunity!

Either way, please come and support W Bro Vic and make his last Boxing Night an evening to remember and a great fundraising event for Appeal 2011.
Get a group together from your Lodge or Chapter and book your tickets via
W Bro Southan on 0121 556 1311 or mobile 07961 022662
or by email marvic@sky.com

Similarly if you would like to support the evening as a sponsor, advertiser or provide a raffle prize, W Bro Vic would be pleased to hear from you.

Hope you've had a Good Summer
