Woodville.

A series of socials has been held arid proved quite successful, two m the Parish Hall and two m the Forresters' Hall, the latter being held under the auspices of the Ladies' Guild.

Losses are ours again, Mr and Mrs Burnett and family after over 30 years' full interest m the Church contemplating removal to Nelson partly for health reasons, and then Mr Thomas Hughes and his wife, who also for health reasons has had to seek work elsewhere. Mr Hughes has run our Sunday School as superintendent for about twenty-six years

and has been lay-reader for much of that time besides being a lively vestryman. How to replace those leaving is exercising the minds of Vicar and vestry and with hopes of success, too! .

Confirmation classes have been keeping the Vicar busy and he has more amongst the -married people particularly on his list for next year's classes.

- The vestry has accepted tenders for electric lighting 1 of the church for which the Ladies' Guild have provided the money, and the same Guild has given the vestry notice to fit up and switch on at the Vicarage and they will attend to the bill!
