LAST month the large Civic Hall in Orpington was filled by guild members of the federation for the annual Rally.

National Chairman Pamela Pollock regretted she could not be present, but the mayor of Bromley, Councillor Charles Joel, was welcomed by Federation chairman Sheila Rawlins.

He said he was pleased to accept the invitation and stayed for the rest of the morning.

After the banner march and roll call musical was provided by the federation choir, followed by a talk on shopping by Paul Clark.

After lunch, Alan Stockwell reminisced about well-known entertainers with a talk called Puppets, Piers and Pantomimes.

Presentations were followed by the raffle.

The chairman wished all a safe journey home.
