Warwickshire Mark Installed Masters Lodge No. 1400 celebrate their Ladies’ Festival. Traditionally, this is arranged over a long weekend and features an informal get together on Friday night followed by Saturday Gala Black Tie Dinner and Dance at a venue selected annually by the Worshipful Master. This has always been a popular event in the Province’s Social Calendar since 1999 and this year has been no exception with an attendance of nearly 150 brethren and their wives and partners.

In Spring each year members of the Warwickshire Mark Installed Masters Lodge No 1400 celebrate their Ladies’ Festival. Traditionally, this is arranged over a long weekend and features an informal get together on Friday night followed by Saturday Gala Black Tie Dinner and Dance at a venue selected annually by the Worshipful Master. This has always been a popular event in the Province’s Social Calendar since 1999 and this year has been no exception with an attendance of nearly 150 brethren and their wives and partners.

The Worshipful Master, W Bro Cedric Stiles, well known throughout the Province for his wonderful support of the many social events, decided in his year to return to the ever-popular Torquay and well-known Toorak Hotel over the weekend of 26^th to 28^th March. Ably organised by RW Bro Keith Holdsworth the places were soon sold out with a waiting list of Brethren who wished to join the party.

The customary raffle was held, with the proceeds this year supporting the Craft Provincial Grand Lodge Appeal for Fisher House.  An excellent total of £1200.00 was raised during the weekend for this worthy cause.
