The hall was decorated and the new staging for the orchestra was in use for the first time. There were several novelty dances and a competition which was won by Mrs. Trower. Miss T. Corkill was M.C. Some non-dancers indulged in cards while others took advantage of the comfortably arranged stage to view the dancing. Many visitors were present from the surrounding districts.
