Buntingford Women's Institute
A meeting of the Buntingford Women's Institute was held at the Assembly Room, George Hotel, on Wednesday evening last.
A lantern lecture on "Flowers" was given by Mr W. Graveson, of Hertford, and was much enjoyed by all present. The lecturer spoke of the various legends connected with our English flowers, and many of the beautiful pictures were taken by Mr Graveson himself. At the close a very hearty vote of thanks was carried with acclamation by all present.
The lantern was manipulated by Mr B.E. Thody.
Following the lantern lecture musical items were rendered by Miss Baker's pupils. The programme for the ensuing year was also discussed, and it was resolved to have an Institute outing next summer.
Bulbs for the Bulb Competition were sold at the meeting.
Two new members were co-opted on the committee, namely Mrs W.J. May and Mrs G. Saggers. It was also announced that tickets were now on sale for the Whist Drive, which will be held at the George Hotel on Tuesday next, Nov. 20th.
A special feature will be a prize for a lucky ticket, which must be purchased before Tuesday. The whole of the prizes to be offered will be on view in Mr Sharp's window on Monday.
Tea was provided by Miss Boniwell, and the meeting closed with the singing of Auld Lang Syne.
