Buntingford Nursing Fund
Annual Whist Drive
The Annual Whist Drive and Dance in aid of the Buntingford Nursing Fund was held at the Benson Hall on Wednesday evening.
The event was again organised by Miss Lushington, who was assisted by many willing workers both before the day and at the drive itself.
As many as twenty-seven tables were occupied for whist, while several persons came in afterwards for the dance. Mr A.C. Bartlett was M.C., and fulfilled his duties in a very efficient manner.
The prize winners were: Ladies - 1 Mrs F. Camp (179), 2 Mrs Green (171), 3 Miss Cornwell (171). Gents - 1 Mr A. Hodge (175), 2 Mr T. Pledger (175), 3 Mr G. Lindsell, jun. (174). The lucky ticket prizes went to Mr L. Poulton and Mr E. Pledger. Lowest scores - Miss M. Cornwell and Mr R. Cawthorne.
Miss Lushinton, in a brief speech, thanked all present, and emphasised the importance of the Buntingford Nursing Association, and referred to the admirable work being carried out by Nurse Davies. She also thanked all those who had contributed to the success of the evening. Miss Lushington then distrbuted the prizes to the successful whist players.
The following contributed to the prize fund or sent donations towards the expenses: Mrs Williams, Mrs Marshall, Mrs Weasey, Mrs Croslegh, Miss Lushington, Mrs Fell, Mrs Nevett, Mrs Fletcher and Mrs Dixon.
Dancing commenced at 10 p.m., and went on merrily until midnight, the Town Band and Mr J. Bishop kindly providing the music.
The event was most successful, and best thanks are due to Miss Lushington for again organising the annual whist drive.
