Friday 24th January saw 126 members together with their families and friends packed into Hadleigh Town Hall as Brett Valley Lodge held their very popular annual Burns Supper. The evening was extra special for the lodge as we were very pleased to welcome the Provincial Grand Master for Suffolk. As is usual a raffle was held and the magnificent sum of £900 was raised which will be distributed to local charities in due course.
Also present as guests of the Lodge were representatives from Hadleigh Swimming Club and Volunteers from Felixstowe Coastwatch who received donations to assist them in their work.
Our thanks to John Adams for his ‘Address to The Haggis’ which was much enjoyed as always by present and of course not forgetting ‘Monarch of The Glen’ Peter Pryke whose playing of the bagpipes is legendary, well in Hadleigh at least!
