Social at Mission Room
The Mission Room was almost full for a very enjoyable function on the evening of Wednesday, the 22nd September.
The occasion was a tea and social to welcome the Rev. H.F. Webb-Bowen as Rector of the Parish. The idea was first suggested by the Churchwardens, and enthusiastically taken up in the village.
A small committee was formed, who gave liberally, and with donations from the Churchwardens, success was assured. All the schoolchildren of the village were invited free, all others to pay the nominal sum of 3d.
After full justice had been done to the tempting viands displayed, Mr J.W. Sworder, in a few well-chosen words, voiced the welcome of the parishioners to the new Rector, who later responded in a happy vein, thanking Mr Sworder for the welcome he had extended to him, and asking for the support and backing of his parishioners in Church life and work.
Songs and recitations filled up the remainer of the evening, which was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem.
