Sports

Weather conditions were so bad on Wednesday that the first annual school sports, arranged to be held at Buntingford, had to be postponed.

Mr E.E. Dennis and several helpers had made excellent arrangements, and the Town Band were to have been in attendance. The number of entries was very gratifying, and had the weather been fine the meeting would have been a great success.

At present it has been arranged to hold the event on Thursday next, June 10th, when it is hoped that a large number of people from the town and district will be present to support the cause.
