The President's Mass and Family Bar-B-Q was held once again at St Edward the Confessor's Church on Sunday 9th of July. The weather was perfect, not too hot, and many brothers sported shorts not to be recommended though for circle meetings! Following Mass, conducted by Deacon Michael Phillips, the congregation swarmed into the Garden area anticipating a lavish Bar-B-Q lunch. They were not disappointed!
As usual, the attendance was high and so, I understand, was the consumption of alcohol which was responsibly served by Bro. Guillermo.The day passed without a hitch apart from the irritating high pitched bleeping of the Church's smoke alarm no doubt activated by the Bar-B-Q Boys' burnt offerings! Eventually, and after many attempts, the alarm was turned off. All in all, it was a great day but Bro. Barry and Bro. Claude were sorely missed.
