24/11/07: Mersey had its first Ladies Night for several years. Due to our small numbers it was held as a joint event and arranged by the Master, it took place at the Renaissance Hotel near Heathrow. It was a fun night out and thoroughly enjoyed by all of those in attendance who were particularly priviledged to witness some of the Master's "moves" on the Dance Floor.
23/11/07: Tonight's meeting was one of the most enjoyable for some time with two major occurences. The first was that we welcomed Mr Simon Cathcart as a new Initiate to the Lodge and secondly we had the great pleasure of marking the 40th Anniversary meeting of W. Bro Geoffrey Stokell (our DC) with a presentation by W. Bro Mike Martin and a small token of appreciation presented by the WM on behalf of the Lodge.
