Buntingford Town Band
Whist Drive and Dance
A whist drive and dance, in aid of the Buntingford Town Silver Band funds, was held at the Benson Hall on Wednesday evening last.
Sixteen tables were in use for whist, Mr T. Wornham officiating as M.C.
Scoring was not very high. Mrs B.E. Thody took first lady's prize - Half a tea set - with a score of 172. The second prize, a pretty floating bowl, was won by Miss Norman, Mr W. Watson (playing as lady) securing third prize - a pair of glass candlesticks.
In the gents section, Mr H. Howard was first, winning half-dozen stainless steel knives. Mr Budd took second prize (a tobacco jar), and Mr Leslie Smith third - a hot water bottle.
The Rev. Fr. Morgan gave a beaded girdle as a lucky number prize, which was won by Mrs Bishop.
The prizes were presented by Miss Lushington, who made a few well-chosen remarks.
Later dancing was indulged in till midnight - the music being supplied by members of the Town Band.
