Burnham-On-Sea Moose Lodge members gathered for their harvest supper at the weekend… despite a setback!
As members gathered at Berrow Village Hall over the weekend, it quickly became clear that the hall had been double-booked.
But, after several phone calls, the Burnham Area Youth Centre came to the rescue and the Moose members and organisers travelled to the BAY Centre in Burnham’s Cassis Close for a hastily relocated event.
Before the start of the evening, all participants stood for a minute’s silence in remembrance of The Queen.
Ladies Circle President Sandra Nicholson was also presented with a bouquet of flowers for her work with the catering.
A ploughman’s salad was served up for the 40 participants by Ladies Circle members, followed by entertainment from vocalist Dave Elswood who delivered a selection of well-known songs.
The main event of the evening was an auction of produce and other items, overseen by lodge secretary Terry Cornelius. The produce auction raised £100, whilst the raffle raised £126 – with profits going towards Ladies’ circle running costs and charity support.
Social Committee Chairman Pete Nicholson said: “After a bumpy start and some phone calls and quick planning, it was a great night, thanks to all for being patient and those who helped.”
