Choir Social

The Rector of the Parish and Mrs Wright were "At Home" to the members of the Church Choir on Thursday evening of last week.

The proceedings were of a very happy nature, and well in keeping with the spirit of Christmas.

During the evening Mr Walter Searle (Verger) presented the Rector, on behalf of the Choir, with a beautifully bound copy of "Hymns - Ancient and Modern."

The Rector, in acknowledging the gift, said that he was sure they could not realise what the kindness and co-operation of the Choir meant to him in his parish work, and he deeply appreciatied their very handsome gift. It was always a real pleasure to Mrs Wright and himself to have the Choir in their own home at Christmas time.

At the close of the evening, Mr W.E. May proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the Rector and Mrs Wright, and called for three cheers.

These were given in the usual lusty manner, and the proceedings terminated with the singing of "They are jolly good fellows" and "Auld Lang Syne."

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.
