LADIES AUXILIARY OF THE R.S.A. HAVE BRIDGE PARTY

The Ladies’ Auxiliary of the R.S.A held their second bridge evening in the Jellicoe Hall last night. Over 100 players were present, while others had arranged parties in their own homes or assisted by contributions. Mr E. W. Willcox. secretary of the R. , expressed the thanks and appreciation of the R.S.A. for the manner in which the Ladies’ Auxiliary had helped the association by the various social gatherings which they had organised since the inception of the auxiliary.
