Annual Treat
Mr and Mrs H.C. Marshall, of Longmead, kindly invited the children of Baldock Road to a New Year's Treat on Tuesday. The event was held at the Ex-Service Men's Club, and the room was beautifully decorated for the occasion.
A Christmas Tree stood at one end of the room, and the tree was heavily laden with every description of toys suitable for boys and girls. Over forty sat down to an excellent tea, which was supplied by Mrs H. Mead, of Buntingford.
Tea over, the room was speedily cleared for games, &c., which went on amid much noise and merriment. In the amusements and games assistance was kindly given by Mr E.J. Totman and Mr B.E. Thody, while the following ladies assisted Mrs Marshall with the tea and refreshments - Mrs H.H. Williams, Miss Ward, Mrs Totman, Miss Lewis, Mrs Rustead and Mrs B.E. Thody. Mr Marshall arrived during the evening, and was greeted with vociferous cheering.
The Christmas Tree was then lit up with coloured electric lamps and each child received a present. The grown-ups, too, all received a suitable gift from the tree.
At the close the children partook of sausages rolls, cake and lemonade. God Save the King was sung, and hearty resounding cheers were given for Mr and Mrs Marshall and all the helpers. The children dispersed highly delighted with the treat they had so much enjoyed.
