The Eighth Ladies Night at the Home.
On the 29th April, the day of the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Miss Kate
Middleton, The Friends of James Terry Court hosted a Ladies Night to celebrate this
special day.
After photos were taken and a sherry or two had been seen off, 96 Residents, Relatives
and guests sat down to a special dinner prepared by the Head Chef, Sandra.
The President for the evening was in fact a shared affair between W.Bro John Banks
(Vice Chair of the Friends) and Mrs Diane Collins (Home Manager). The special guest
for the evening was David Innes, Chief Executive of the RMBI plus W.Bro Derek Barr
APGM and his wife together with W.Bro Jonathon Knopp APGM and his wife. The
whole evening was overseen by our Master of Ceremonies W.Bro Roger Thomson who
has carried out this role for free since our first Ladies Night. The waiting staff was as in
past years, members of Tamesa Lodge and their partners who did a splendid job.
The Ladies gift this year was a beautiful Mug in a presentation box commemorating the
Royal Wedding of our future King and Queen. A Wedding Cake had been created by
Sandra and at the end of the speeches, the eldest Resident, Lady Eileen Ryder, ably
assisted by her Daughter, cut the cake to much applause. The event was rounded off by
the Residents’ favourite singer, Freddie Gates, who entertained everyone.
A wonderful evening fit for a King.
