Divisional Sunday Lunch
Following two ‘false-starts’ due to COVID restrictions, the West Midlands Division was finally able to host a Sunday Lunch at the Wishaw Sporting Ground, Sutton Coldfield. A total of 80 people assembled to enjoy a wonderful carvery in unique surroundings. Members, their wives and partners travelled from all over the Division to join in this event which was a ‘first’ for the Division. The guests included senior members of other Masonic Orders in the West Midlands.
The prospect of a successful event was enhanced when, after heavy rain in the early morning, what followed was brilliant sunshine, allowing guests to enjoy pre-dinner drinks on the patio.
The venue has an excellent reputation for good food and it did not disappoint; to judge from the ‘noise’ level in the restaurant, everyone has a thoroughly enjoyable time. This was confirmed by numerous compliment and requests to repeat the event in 2023, this has already been booked for May 2023.
Special thanks must go Ill Kt John Handley, Divisional Registrar, for his unstinting work in organising the event, his efforts ensured that everything ran smoothly and the inaugural Lunch proved such a success – thank you John.
