Limbless Soldiers Concert Delights Georgetown Crowd
In Georgetown the Limbless Soldiers Concert Party drew a good audience at the Institute on Friday night with a strong performance and earnings over £9. A gift afternoon for Miss Kath Band before her marriage to Mr. Gerald Noonan, organized by district ladies, featured gifts from local contributors and afternoon tea.

A Saturday night dance for St Patrick’s Sports drew good support, while preparations for a bicycle track and finals for tennis and cricket faced weather-related cancellations. Rev L W Brook continues treatment in the city and faces months of recovery.
