Georgetown Social Season Becomes Busier With Charities
Last week saw a series of dances and social events organized by Mrs. J Bond and Mrs. J L Noonan to support Catholic and Baptist fetes. A Saturday hall dance raised about £6 with a waltz contest won by Mr. J Kirk and Miss M Hynes. A tennis afternoon on Mr. P R Smallacombe’s farm featured food stalls and a fish pond display, netting £3 16s for the Baptist stall. An At Home at the Baptist Church aimed to fund Cake and Produce stalls, though a funeral cast a pall. The Swimming Pool’s final season nears with a new concrete floor, and an ornamental fence may smooth crowd flow ahead of hedge planting.
