Guest Left Out
(N.Z Press Assn. —Copyright)
LONDON.
Officials of a snooker league who organised a surprise farwell party thought of everything—except inviting the chief guest, Mr Clifford Henry, the “Daily Sketch” reported. They booked a local hall, engaged eight night club entertainers and laid on refreshments. But when it came to telling Mr Henry about the party in his honour, they left the job to another. By the time they rea-
lised their mistake it was too late. Mr Henry, retiring after 10 years as secretary of the Snooker Club League at Saddleworth, Lancashire, was having the night out. at Southport, 40 miles away.
At the hall, red-faced officials held a meeting, then announced to the 70 guests: “The celebration will go on—without Mr Henry.” Officials are planning another farewell party for Mr Henry. This time they will make sure he knows about it.
