Men's Club Formed

On Tuesday evening last, a meeting was held in the schoolroom, the object being to form a Club in the village.

Col. C. Heaton-Ellis, C.B.E., presided, and there was a large attendance.

It was decided to form a Club in the village, and to open the room four nights a week. Mr E. Searle was elected Hon. Secretary, and Mr H. Money, Hon. Treasurer.

It is hoped, also, to arrange a small refreshment bar in the Club Room. 

The subscription was fixed at 3/- for the season. Col. Ellis said he was pleased to let the Club have the use of the schoolroom, and he wished it every success.

Magazines would be welcome, and should be sent to the Club Room.
