In response to a Fraternal Invitation from the Worshipful Master, W Bro Claus (Santa) attended Lodge Baddeley's regular meeting on 10th December together with Brethren from Lodge Bega Remembrance and Lodge Pambula Daylight for their annual Christmas festive board and sing-a-long.

The evening was also the scene for the usual hamper and cheque presentation to W Bro Peter Rice, the Anglicare representative, for Xmas hampers for the needy. W Bro Ernie Whitcher made the presentation on behalf of Lodge Baddeley and Lodge Pambula Daylight.

The Festive Board admirable decorated by the ladies. This year they really surpassed themselves.

16 Brethren and 11 ladies enjoyed a wonderful meal prepared by the Baddeley ladies. Doris Spalding's Xmas pudding was exceptional and disappeared quite quickly.
