28th December 1928 - Old Boys' Club

Old Boys' Club

While rain descended in torrents on Saturday evening last, a fine goose was drawing dancers to the Benson Hall for an evening's dancing and to participate in the chance to secure the fine bird for a Christmas dinner.

The event, which was in aid of the Old Boys' Club, was most enjoyable, and what gave the dance that atmosphere of Yuletide was the decorations in the hall; these looked remarkably well, holly, ivy and other evergreens being lavishly displayed.

Mr Blakiston again won admiration as M.C., and so did the goose, which had been offered as a lucky ticket prize, and which went to Mr T. Hummerstone, of Westmill.

The Mavis Dance Band played some spirited selections, and one of the members, Mr Whitehouse, secured the bottle of port which was raffled for during an interval.

Christmas Attractions

The Old Boys' Club are holding another dance tomorrow (Saturday) evening at the Benson Hall, and this should be well attended.

The Hall will be decorated for the occasion, the Mavis Dance Band will be in attendance, and a goose (on view in Mr H.A. Jackson's window) wil be awarded to the holder of the lucky ticket. Tickets are 1/6 each.

- Well worth attending should be the shows to be given at the Benson Hall next week by the Brett Repertory Company, which is guaranteed the finest company now touring.

Commencing on Monday night, there will be an entirely different programme on each occasion. The performances will commence at 7.30 each evening.

Prices of admission, etc., are to be found on the posters exhibited in the town.
