Frank David, Chairman of the Charitable Trust, who, along with the Master and Past Master Michael Harper, had attended the camp itself to see its work, spoke of how he felt that this had been one of the most deserving causes he had witnessed for the funds of the Charitable Trust.
A group of singers from the Tring Performing Arts School gave some great renditions of a number of songs from well known musicals ending with, on this notable date, patriotically leading the company in the singing of “Land of Hope and Glory”, with much flag waving. A draw was made for a Jeroboam of fine claret generously donated by the caterers Harbour and Jones and Ken Barnes held an auction for Wimbledon semi-final tickets, kindly donated by Judith Harper.
Michael Harper thanked all those responsible for the organisation of the evening, particularly Steve Neville and to Catlin for their generous sponsorship to these worthwhile causes. He hoped that other corporate sponsors would be encouraged to come forward. Peter Holland concluded the evening reminding guests of the City Fire lecture next April on the subject of Fire and Timber structures and with an invitation to a stirrup cup.
