Burnham’s BAY Centre comes to the rescue of Moose Lodge’s fundraising event

-

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.”
