Warwickshire Mark Ladies Afternoon Tea has raised more than £1000 for for the M.B.F. Festival 2027

What started as a proposal for a Ladies Sparkling Afternoon Tea to raise money for Warwickshire’s M.B.F. Festival 2027 resulted in a grand mixed gathering of Ladies, Mark Masons and friends at the lovely rural location of Bodymoor Heath Village Hall on Saturday, 14 June. More than 50 people attended, and enjoyed a variety of sandwiches, savouries, scones and cakes. Prosecco and sparkling cordials, plenty of tea and coffee all helped the food go down!

Our fantastic team of helpers turned the hall into a beautiful welcoming space; the tables were decorated with fresh flowers and pretty, floral crockery. Relaxing afternoon tunes were a backdrop to laughter and much chatting.

The Mark helpers all looked terrific- even the Provincial Grand Master, who had forgotten to bring his formal striped trousers! They waited on with aplomb and wouldn’t have been out of place at the Ritz with their tongs and platters!

Events like this don’t happen without great teamwork; and you know that will always happen when Mark Masons and their partners are involved. A great team effort produced a super event which has raised more than £1000 for Warwickshire’s M.B.F. Festival 2027.

Particular mentions go to the fantastic band of helpers and servers: ‘Cheffy’ John Roberts for his incredible generosity, preparing and donating sausage rolls, scones and cakes for everyone; Julia Phillips for making beautiful cards for sale, all of the proceeds of which were donated to the cause; all those who brought raffle prizes and other baked goods; Elizabeth Ratcliffe for a generous donation towards the Prosecco and Cordials, and of course everyone who came, enjoyed themselves and donated generously to our Warwickshire MBF Festival 2027.

Sandra and Karen are delighted to be a part of the festival Warwickshire M.B.F. Festival 2027 committee and are dedicated to trying to make Mark Masonry as enjoyable for wives and partners as it so obviously is for the Mark Masons themselves.
