There followed one of the largest Burns Supper Festive Boards held by Richmond Hill Lodge on its 22nd Anniversary of holding a Burns Supper Festive Board. Some 80 new and old friends and members of the lodge were entertained and dine in a splended atmosphere. The Haggis was again piped in by WBro Mark Haynes and the Address was given by WBro Stuart Lochtie Twickenham Lodge No 4278.
