Sandon

Dance

To raise funds for Church expenses, an enjoyable dance took place in the schoolroom on Friday, May 6th, at which a large company was present.

Miss R. Cannon and Miss H. Hammond kindly presided at the piano, and the presence of the Sandon Jazz Band (Messrs. Strickland, J. Clark, and Izzard) added further pleasure to the proceedings.

Cakes, which were given by Messrs. J. Walker & Sons, were competed for, and the Church Council's thanks are due to the Vicar, Mrs Austin, Mrs Bowman, Mrs L. Cannon, Mrs N. Cannon, Mrs G. Hatchett, Mrs Sherlock and Mrs W. Ward, also Miss Austin, Miss Small, and the Women's Institute, who kindly gave cakes, sugar, tea, &c.

The amount raised was £3 3s. 6d.

Boys' Club

There must have been about 100 persons present at the Benson Hall on Wednesday evening last when the dance in aid of the Boys' Club provided over four hours of continuous enjoyment.

A number of invitations had been issued by Mr E.E. Dennis (who manages the Club during the winter months, and finds means of raising funds during the summer) and the response was more than expected.

The popular Standon orchestra provided a programme of up-to-date dance music, which was enjoyed by all present, and the duties of M.C. were undertaken by Mr Leslie Smith.

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.
