Walter Nash, states the ‘ Kidderminster Shuttle.’ The final date for applications is on February 1, the article continues, but it is obvious that the whole of the tickets will be taken before that date. The total number of seats available for the banquet in the Corn Exchange is 215, and over 150 seats were booked within a few days of the announcement. The newspaper states that Mr and Mrs Stanley Baldwin cannot definitely say whether they will be present, but that there is a distinct possibility. Seven mayors and mayoresses from the adjoining boroughs will be present. The British Broadcasting Corporation will take a recording of the various sueeches made in the Kidderminster Town Hall, and will broadcast a summarised version of these from 9.50 p.m. to 10 p.m. the same day.
