SOCIAL AFTERNOON Another social afternoon was held at Mrs. Evans’ on Tuesday afternoon in aid of the Methodist circuit friends. Competition winners were: Representing a book, Mrs. Laurie Rose; quoits, Mrs. Len Rose; bean-throwing, Mrs. Carr. A stall did good business and as a result the circuit funds will benefit to the extent of £2 10s. During the afternoon opportunity was taken by Mrs. Evans to make a presentation of a Bible to Ruth Coombridge and a book to Donald, as farewell gifts, wishing them every success in their new circuit.
