Bowls Rummage Sale

The energetic Committee of the Bowls Club organised a jumble sale, which took place in the Foresters' Hall on Wednesday afternoon, to raise funds to assist in wiping off the debt which has been incurred in the making of the new green.

The event was most successful, and between £6 and £7 profit was obtained.

The stalls were in charge of members of the Club and lady helpers, and there was a large variety of clothes and other useful articles, all of which were sold at low prices.

The Committee had issued an appeal for contributions, and are very grateful to the residents of the town for their ready response.

The Committee also wish to thank those who assisted in making the event such a success.

The Buntingford team journeyed to the Castle Grounds at Hertford on Saturday last, where they met the Garden Club.

A most enjoyable game was played and resulted in a win for Buntingford, thus making up for the match which they lost at home to Hertingfordbury the previous Saturday. They won by the same number of points this week as they lost last.

The scores at Hertford were - Buntingford 41, Garden Club 31, and those of the match with Hertingfordbury were 37 for the home team and 47 for the visitors.

Fete Marred by Rain

Rain marred the fete organised for Bank Holiday by the Buntingford Bowls Club.

Early in the mrning the committee and stallholders were making extensive preparations for an open-air event at Layston Court, kindly placed at the disposal of the Club by Miss Woods, when the rain commenced.

It was not until the early afternoon that it was found necessary to abandon the idea of holding the event outside, so the stalls, &c., were transferred to the Women's Institute Hall, and everyone carried on as well as possible under the trying circumstances.

The concerts held in the hall during the evening were a great success, and there were excellent audiences.

Later in the evening there was a dance, at which a very large number was present. Barratt's Band from London provided the music, and the afternoon's sorrows were turned into an evening of complete enjoyment.
