St Francis' School Outing

Arranged as usual with great completeness by the Sisters, the boys at St Francis' School had their annual outing on Wednesday in last week.

About 40 boys and the Catholic children of the town had an enjoyable drive round in two charabancs to Royston. Luncheon on Royston Heath proved a great enjoyment, as also did a capital meat tea served in the afternoon.

One of the events of the outing was a cricket match between the school's two teams, captained respectively by a boy from Halifax and one from Cardiff, by which names the teams are known. Mr E.J. Sparkes rendered very welcome aid on the Heath and added to general enjoyment.

The party arrived home soon after 9 p.m. highly delighted with their pleasant outing, and full of gratitude to the Sisters.

Layston Church Choir Outing

On Wednesday last the Choir enjoyed a delightful day at Clacton-on-Sea.

The party, with the addition of the Rev. A. and Mrs Howard, the Misses Howard, Mr S. Howard, Mr and Mrs Baker and others, left at 7 in Mr Spencer's new and comfortable charabanc. The drive was enjoyed by all, the weather being favourable.

On arrival, the party separated for bathing, paddling and the other delights of Clacton, but met at 5 for tea at the Clifton Restaurant.

The expenses of the Choir were chiefly met by the kind gifts of members of the congregation and other residents in Buntingford.

The rain held off well till the start home was made, and was not sufficient to cause serious inconvenience.

"The Fox" Outing Club

This club went for its annual outing on Saturday last, when a party of 30 journeyed to Southend-on-Sea.

Favoured by an exceptionally fine day, a most enjoyable time was spent. An early luncheon was partaken of at the Southend Labour Club, and the rest of the day was spent in patronising the many and varied amusements provided at this popular seaside resort.

Arriving home again at 11.30 p.m. the party all agreed that it was the most successful outing over organised by the club.
