The annual Gala event of Ladies, Sons and Daughters Night was held at Clandon Regis Golf Club on 6 September. There were 74 in attendance and following a brief Circle meeting, everyone took their places in the dining area to enjoy a 3 course meal. The guests included: several visiting brothers and wives; visiting gentlemen and wives and, of course, an encouraging turnout of sons and daughters. The Clergy was represented by Fr Roy Waters a regular visitor to the Guildford Circle.
Later in the evening a raffle was held the proceeds of which will go to Cafod the President's Charity.
Photographs were taken on the night by Bro. Steve Rowden and a selection can be viewed below.
