The Festive Board
After an exceptionally good meeting members and our many guests were entertained to a delicious festive board and the usual
Chelsea festive board cabaret featuring Fatman and the Tenor, Miki Travis, George Muranyi and Wally Mardell.
To conclude the event the Chelsea Lodge Road Show choir sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone” in which all those present joined in on the final chorus.
To mark the occasion of their visit, the brethren of the Mozart Lodge of Vienna presented the Worshipful Master with one of their founder’s jewels.
In thanking them, Worshipful brother Paul reported that the jewel would in future be worn by Worshipful Masters at the festive board in recognition of the generosity of the brethren of Mozart Lodge. The current Worshipful Master of the Mozart Lodge responded to the toast to the visitors
