Christmas Carol Service 2023
On 19th December the Ethelbert Lodge held it's annual Carol Service.
As always it was well attended by brethren, partners, friends and families.
The service was opened by W.Bro. Dave Dance, our Worshipful Master.
W.Bro. Steve Claringbold lead the service with his usual interesting facts and observations regarding the Christmas period.
We sang some favourite Carols which were interspersed with our Christmas readings.
Kevin Kay-Bradley provided the musical accompaniment.
Following a most enjoyable Carol Service, everyone adjourned to the dining area. There, a meal of sausage and mash awaited, after which we were treated to a bumper raffle which, thanks to the gererosity of everyone present, raised a considerable sum for charity.
During the evening Father Christmas also paid a visit and presented all the children with a gift.
Finally, after the traditional singing of the ever popular "Twelve Days of Christmas", everyone raised a glass to our Worshipful Master, Dave Dance and his wife Janet, to wish them a Happy Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
