Arrangements for Armistice Day

Armistice Day is rapidly approaching, and the arrangements for its observance were discussed at a meeting of the Committee of the Local Branch of the British Legion at the Club Room last Friday evening. Captain H.H. Williams was in the chair.

It was decided to adopt as far as possible the procedure of last year. It was announced that the usual sale of poppies would, of course, be held on Saturday, November 10th, as this year's Armistice falls upon Sunday.

A whist drive, jumble sale and a dance were also arranged to be held on the Saturday. The parade of ex-service men and other bodies on the Sunday was also arranged. 

Further information concerning the observance will appear in our columns in due course.
