Hockey

Buntingford entertain Duxford R.A.F.

A good game was witnessed on the Aspenden ground on Saturday last, when Buntingford suffered defeat by six goals to one. From the start the visitors attacked the home goal, and soon took the lead.

Several good runs by the home forwards were spoilt by the good defence of the visitors. By half-time the visitors were five goals up, Buntingford having scored once, through Coleman.

In the second half Buntingford played a better game, but were unable to score. The airmen registered one goal after the interval.

For the home side, E. Mildren and G. Coleman were perhaps the best of the forwards.

Mr Walter May was in charge of the game.

The following played for Buntingford: L. Smith, J.A. Pigg, G.S. Taylor, J. Pigg, R. Pigg, R. Powell, E. Mildren, R. Smith, A. Turney, G. Coleman, T.R.C. Carter.

The June monthly meeting, held in the school on the 9th, was to have been, by kind invitation of Mrs E. Pigg, a Garden Meeting, but owing to the unsettled weather it was thought best to hold indoors; nevertheless a very nice tea was given by this lady and thoroughly appreciated by everyone present.

The W.I. Business having been gone through, Mrs R. Turney and Mrs J. Hurry gave very interesting demonstrations on "Rug-making." Hearty thanks were accorded these ladies for their showing and goodwill in answering the many questions put to them.

A competition "Guessing Leaves," in the hands of the Secretary, caused some fun. Mrs C. Whitby guessing 11 out of 12 correctly, Miss N. Carter 10.

Whist was indulged in, Mrs J. Hurry gaining highest, Mrs T. Pigg lowest. For both whist and competition, prizes were given by Miss N. Pigg.

For such a splendid tea and happy time, thanks were proposed by Mrs Coxall to Mrs and the Misses Pigg, and heartily carried.

Mrs Scarborough Taylor and Mrs Armstrong rendered some delightful songs.

The meeting closed with God Save the King.

The monthly meeting was again held in the school on Wednesday, May 12th, at 6.30 p.m. The members again made a good attendance, this time to enjoy the bountiful tea given by Mrs E.T. Morris, of the Bury. The hostess, with Miss P. Morris, made all feel thoroughly at home, and a very happy time was spent.

Business being over, Mrs Stapley, of Buntingford, gave a really useful demonstration in the cutting out and putting together of a dress. Mrs J. Hurry made a very good model, and it proved a very happy, yet useful, time.

Both ladies were thanked for their services, as was also Mrs G. Turney, who so kindly judged the bun competition. This proved a rather difficult task, as the judge herself said, but to everyone's satisfaction, Mrs Young, Mrs Jarman, and Mrs A. Jackson came out on top.

Voting for the summer outing took place, and "Felixstowe" won.

Whist was played, and Mrs Morris kindly acted as M.C. It was found Miss E. Coxall had gained highest number; Mrs H. Geaves lowest. Prizes were generously given by Mrs Morris. 

Before closing the meeting, Mrs T. Hurry heartily thanked Mrs and Miss Morris for so kindly giving such a splendid tea, and this was carried with applause. The meeting ended by all joining in singing God Save the King.
