Successful Paddy’s Market

The Hinds Centennial Hall was more than comfortably filled on Friday evening last when all the stalls comprising the Paddy’s Market, held to raise funds for the school, did good business.

The function was a great success socially and financially, the proceeds amounting to .approximately £llO. This success was due to the generous support given by parents and friends of the school, arid to the energy shown by those in charge of the . various stalls.

During the evening those present were entertained by blindfold boxing bouts staged by the pupils, and conjuring by Mr O’Brien, of Mayfield. Those in charge of the various stalls were: Sweets, Young People’s Club; cakes, Mesdames Douglas, Donaldson and Parrish; meat, Messrs Reith, Howden, Good and McLaren; produce, Messrs Lowe, Good, Ellis and Frampton; flowers, Mesdames Lewis _ and Small; jumble, Mrs Gourlay, Misses Gunn and Chisnall; supper, Mesdames Elms, Hawke, Parsons, Lowe, McKeage, Robertson and Donaldson.

At the conclusion of the function the chairman thanked all who had helped by stocking the stalls and by being such good customers, and made special reference .to those who manned the stalls. Their help and generosity was very much appreciated by the School Committee, he said.
