The Surrey Order of the Secret Monitor Dinner and Dance Party was, again, a sell out. With 150 Brethren, friends and family enjoying a fine three course meal, dancing to live vocal entertainment, in a friendly, lively party atmosphere, at the Reigate Manor Hotel.
Two singing waiters got the entertainment started, as a pleasant surprise for all present. The remainder of the live entertainment, providing dancing until midnight, was provided by ex Drifters vocalist Jahson Nembhard.
The Provincial Grand Supreme Ruler, Laurie Young, was very pleased to announce that the evening had raised £1,660 for local good causes and would be donated from the Orders Benevolent Fund.
A number of the Party attendees stayed overnight and reconvened in the restaurant in the morning for breakfast and to reflect on a highly enjoyable night.
