S.A. Sunday School Outing

The children, number 53, attending the S.A. Sunday School, and 25 adults, had a most enjoyable day's outing on the 28th ult.

Accompanied by Captain Winifred Green and Lieut. Alma Andrews, they journeyed in three charabancs supplied by Mr E.J. Sparks and Mr W.H. Smith, to Theydon Bois, part of Epping Forest.

An al fresco lunch was much enjoyed, and games of all kinds and rambles made the day pass all too quickly. Tea was excellently served at The Retreat by Mr Gray.

The party arrived home at 9.30 p.m., highly gratified with their nicely arranged outing.

The local officers wish to gratefully thank the people of Buntingford for their welcome financial aid that enabled the outing to be such a pleasing success.
