It was a good day and enjoyed by all.</div> <bR> <div> The Master's Dinner was held last Saturday night at the Restaurant Belia.  Predinner drinks were held close by and many stayed the night just a short walk away.  A delicious meal was interspersed with entertaining "Show and Tell".  It was noticed that following day that the Mistress rather than the Master drove to their Sunday engagement at Penneshaw.</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
