The queues started early, for hamburgers, candy floss and drinks, while families took their places in

front of the stage to watch the Bagpipers and Philippine dancers.  Cheese! The button makers spring

                     

into action, while others get out of the hot sun.  Hubert announces another act, and more photos.

The DGM helps cook burgers (in the shade) and the guests seek shelter from the heat in the tents.

Another show starts, will they chop his feet off? The drummers don't notice the hot sun, while clowns

(and clownesses)  work hard to entertain the little ones - balloons are the order of the day!  Even the

Grand Master* pitches in handing out ice cream.  The shows come to an end, with the Scout Master
posing for the last photo.

       Some 600 children, 400 attendants and 200 Freemasons had

an exceptional day; a lot of laughter was heard, and many disadvantaged children had a
magical time, all due to the efforts of the same group of hard working Masons. Thank you.
