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.

Hockey
Buntingford entertain Duxford R.A.F.
A good game was witnessed on the Aspenden ground on Saturday last, when Buntingford suffered defeat by six goals to one. From the start the visitors attacked the home goal, and soon took the lead.

In the second half Buntingford played a better game, but were unable to score. The airmen registered one goal after the interval.
For the home side, E. Mildren and G. Coleman were perhaps the best of the forwards.
