Layston Church Expenses

Layston Church is faced with a heavy deficit, and the Parochial Church Council are making every effort to wipe this out as soon as possible.

On Saturday a successful sale of clothing and other articles took place in the Women's Institute Hall in this connection, when a sum of over £8 was realised.

Mr F.W. Butler kindly made all arrangements for collecting and conveying the articles (given by parishioners and others) to the Hall, and the following assisted with the selling:

Mesdames Boniwell, Bonness, Brodie, Butler, Clarke, Corp, Dixon, Davies, Feasey, Geaves, Howard, Woodley and Mr G. Hill.

The organisers are very grateful to all who assisted.

Christmas Attractions

The Old Boys' Club are holding another dance tomorrow (Saturday) evening at the Benson Hall, and this should be well attended.

The Hall will be decorated for the occasion, the Mavis Dance Band will be in attendance, and a goose (on view in Mr H.A. Jackson's window) wil be awarded to the holder of the lucky ticket. Tickets are 1/6 each.

- Well worth attending should be the shows to be given at the Benson Hall next week by the Brett Repertory Company, which is guaranteed the finest company now touring.

Commencing on Monday night, there will be an entirely different programme on each occasion. The performances will commence at 7.30 each evening.

Prices of admission, etc., are to be found on the posters exhibited in the town.
