After a sumptuous banquet, Duncan gave thanks to the group ball committee, especially Jim Gregson and Mike Brown and to the evening’s director of ceremonies Jason Dell.
Tony Harrison responded by thanking Duncan for the invitation to such a wonderful occasion and remarked how lovely the ladies were looking. In conclusion he thanked everyone for supporting the North Fylde Group and hoped that the brethren would continue to enjoy their Freemasonry.
Following dinner the brethren and their ladies danced the night away to group ball regulars, Zeta and Lee who had everyone rocking and rolling until the midnight hour.
