Town Band

There must have been somewhere about 120 dancers at the George Assembly Room on Saturday, on the occasion of the weekly whist drive and dance organised by the town silver band.

Mr T. Wornham acted as M.C., and the whist prizes went to the following:

Ladies - 1 Mrs Aylott, 2 Mrs Turrell. Booby - Mrs S. Smith.

Gents - 1 Mr H. Handy, 2 Mr W. Budd. Booby - Mr A. Martin.

With so many dancing, it is a wonder that not more than four persons shared the spot dance prize.

As it was two couples were adjudged to be dancing on the spot previously selected by the judges, and the prize was shared between - Miss Philpott and Mr S. Warren and Mr Cannon and partner.

A dance, organised by Mrs Philpott and Mrs Handy, was held at the Benson Hall on Thursday evening in last week, and passed off most successfully.

Upwards of 120 were present and much enjoyed the programme of dances. A balloon dance proved a great success, the prize going to Mrs Watson and Mrs Leake.

Mr T. Wornham acted as M.C., and the music was supplied by the Standon Orchestra.

As a result of the dance, the organisers have been able to hand the sum of £4 10s. to the Buntingford and District Nursing Fund.

Dance

A jolly evening was spent at the Benson Hall on the 24th June (Tuesday last), when a dance (arranged by Mrs Philpott) in aid of the Buntingford Catholic Cemetery Funds was attended by over 100 persons.

The Standon orchestra were in attendance, and their programme of dances was much enjoyed by all.

There were some diversions in the way of games and competitions (organised by Mr Brock-Daniels) and these caused much amusement. An obstacle race was won by Mr Leslie Smith, and the balloon dance prize went to Miss Q. Nash, Miss M. Cornwell, and Miss J. Fenner.

Mr T. Wornham kindly officiated as M.C.
