Comforts Fund Committee
Spring Party - Tuesday 3rd April 2007
The Comforts Fund Committee started their traditional yearly program with the Spring Party which was held at Freemasons’ Hall, Bridge Street, Manchester on Tuesday 3rd April 2007.
The event was supported by the Deputy President of the ELMC, Dr. Nigel G. Bramley-Haworth, and a number of the Assistant PGM's and their partners.
From 4pm onwards the Comforts Fund Chairman, together with other Committee members and their partners, greeted some one hundred and seven guests and officers, including a small group of residents from Hewlett Court, for an afternoon tea and biscuits reception.
This was followed in the early evening by a most enjoyable formal three course dinner in the Goulburn Suite. During this time relaxing classical guitar music was provided by Mike Groocock.
After the dinner we were superbly entertained by The Band of the Fusiliers’ (Lancashire) who played a medley of tunes to the delight of everyone. No microphones needed here! Such a good time was being had by all that on several occasions the audience broke out into spontaneous song!
During the evening the committee members and officers were able to circulate and chat amongst the guests. Each guest was given a small gift wrapped present in the form of a leather purse for the ladies and a leather wallet for the gentlemen.
A colourful flower display on each table was provided by Julie Wards mother Norma. Towards the end of the evening these wonderful arrangements were given away as table prizes.
This was undoubtedly a memorable occasion!
