An excellent evening was had by all on Tuesday 28th September at Braza in Romford in the latest fundraiser for the Essex 2030 MBF Festival. This was organised by the Upminster Mark Lodges at the Brazilian Restaurant in Romford where we had exclusive use of the venue and 43 Mark Men and their partners dined. This is a different dining experience, whereby you help yourself to an extensive salad bar and the chefs then bring round various meats which they carve in front of you from large skewers of Beef, Lamb, Pork , Gammon, Chicken , Sausages plus more. The evening was a great success in a very happy “ Mark ” atmosphere and raised £530 .We confidently predict an attendance of 60+ next year when we are planning to repeat the event, earlier in the new year.
