MEMBERS of Burnham’s Moose lodge 123 gathered at Berrow Village Hall on Saturday evening to hold their annual New Year’s party with a pantomime fancy dress.
Last year’s event was cancelled due to covid restrictions, but members made up for it this year with 52 people joining the event.
The event included a delicious meat and salad buffet, served up by social committee members Sandra Nicholson and Carol Lang. After the meal, popular local choir, ‘The Serendipity Singers’, entertained with a selection of popular songs.

Lodge secretary Terry Cornelius had prepared a pre-set quiz, and the conclusion to the evening was a short vote of thanks to everyone from Lodge Governor Chris Kingston-White, before drawing the usual raffle. Funds raised during Moose events are collected together and donated to charitable causes.

Governor Chris Kingston-White said: “Thankyou to Sandra and Carol, for the delicious food, and thanks to you all for coming. What great costumes.”
Burnham Moose publicity officer Mike Lang adds: “Sadly, because of Covid 19 restrictions, our regular monthly meetings at Berrow village hall, and fundraising events had been halted, but the welfare support of our older members, widows, and widowers, continued in the background.
“However, after a few months of online preparation meetings, we opened up to our lodge meetings at the end of the summer.”
