At the end of our Festive Board Meeting, we all chipped in to set up the Hall for our Steak & Lobster Supper for the following day.

The Steak & Lobster was well attended and hopefully all had a good time and went away, well fed. Bro's Al White & Bernie Meisner cooked the Lobsters, in the rain, while Bro. Craig White did a wonderful job with the steaks, as usual, on our new BBQ. Job well done guys. Thanks for all those who helped behind the scene. This was a team effort. Many hands make light work.
