PLEASURE CRUISE

A NAUTICAL BALL

EASTBOURNE PLUNKET i

On Saturday evening in the Pavilion, Day's Bay, everyone was on deck for the Eastbourne Plunket Society's Nautical Ball. The hall was transformed into a mighty ship that carried hundreds of dancers on a pleasure cruise. At the helm was a first-class orchestra rendering delightful music, which made the cruise thoroughly enjoyable for all the passengers. The committee is to be congratulated on the splendid manner in which it carried out the nautical theme, with the stage as a ship's bridge, with port and starboard lights, and a gangway forming an entrance to the hall. Father Neptune caused lots of amusement. A delicious home-made supper was served buffet style.
