After a long two years wait the Surrey OSM Christmas Party, was held at the Reigate Manor Hotel on Saturday 27th November 2021. It was well worth the wait as the event was a huge success with everyone enjoying the party atmosphere.
This year’s party, organised by Alan and Wendy Brockwell, included a lovely three course meal with dancing after the meal to Jason Allen. The Dining Room was decorated in a festive manner with Christmas Crackers on the tables and Santa Sacks on every chair.
There were over 150 guests consisting of Surrey Masons, their friends and families, including the Provincial Grand Master of the Mark Province of Surrey, RW.Bro, Ian Clark and Heads of other Orders in Surrey. At 6.30 pm the guests started gathering for a few drinks in the bar before moving into the dining room.
After the meal the party started. Alan and Wendy distributed party poppers and balloons to all the tables which were soon being blown up and let off.
We were entertained by Jason Allen who got us all up dancing.
We had a competition to see who was the best air guitarist.
Next was the Grand Raffle. There was a table full of prizes with the top prize being a 32” television.
The Provincial Grand Supreme Ruler presented Alan and Wendy Brockwell with a gift each to thank them for arranging such a successful evening.
Our Provincial Grand Supreme Ruler Colin Beerling and his wife Ann thanked everyone for coming along to support the OSM Christmas Party.
As well as having a most enjoyable evening together the Christmas Party raised £1,510 for charity which will be divided equally between Princess Alice Hospice, the Motor Neurone Society, and the 2022 Surrey Mark MBF festival.
Everyone agreed it was a most enjoyable Christmas Party.
