One hundred and seventeen Companions, family and friends, including the ME Grand Superintendent and his wife Patricia, enjoyed a fun afternoon and evening in the marquee set up in the Pub Garden.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The hog was roasted and carved by E Comp Allan Gardener of the Methuen Chapter no 1533 in the province of Wiltshire.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Entertainment was provided by Grandpa's Spells Jazz band and a few Companions tried their hand at the county sports of "Horseshoe Throwing"  not one horseshoe hit the stake and "Welly Tossing". The more traditional "Cow Pats" were considered unsuitable for a Sunday evening!</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The event proved to be a great success and the generosity of those attending raised £1045 for the Royal Arch Bi-Centenary Appeal in aid of the Royal College of Surgeons. E Comp Rob had much pleasure in presenting the cheque to the Grand Superintendent at the Chapter Meeting on Tuesday, 18th October 2011.</td> </tr> <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td align="center"><img
