We are all looking forward to the concert to be held in aid of the local Oddfellow’s Lodge and the brothers axe working hard to make it a success. We also have another social gathering to look forward to. This function is to be for the Benefit of the Public Hall Fund. No doubt both these entertainments will be well patronised, as we all enjoy our local concerts and' socials.
