Sale of Work and Fete
A sale of work and fete was held at the Puckeridge R.C. School on June 29th, 1926, in aid of the new Catholic Church which has been built opposite the school. The sale was opened at 3 o'clock by Miss Slattery in place of Lady Paget, who was unable to be present through illness.
Inside the school there were three stalls of clothing and fancy goods, two of them organised by the people of the Parish of Old Hall Green, and a third organised by the staff of the school and the children. The three stalls were very artistically arranged and very successful.
In the school playground there were numerous amusements organised by the men of the parish.
Teas, ices and other refreshments were served during the afternoon and evening. During the evening an open-air whist drive was held.
The organisers of the fete wish to thank all those who helped to make it a success, and those who generously gave prizes to be competed for.
