Cottered

Cricket Club Concert

A very successful concert was held in the school on Friday evening, in aid of the funds of the Cottered Cricket Club.

Miss Bates acted as pianist, there were numerous encores, and the whole programme was thoroughly enjoyed.

In the interval, the Rector (Rev. E.E. Empringham), announced that a letter had been received from the Club President (Mr H. Goode) regretting inability to be present, and enclosing a cheque for £5 for the club funds.

The Rector also proposed a vote of thanks to the pianist, the performers, and all who had helped, but especially to the chief organiser, Mr Edwards, the Hon. Secretary of the Club.

Mr Edwards briefly responded, appealing for the support and goodwill of the whole community for the Cricket Club.
