A PLEASANT EVENING
The Vicar gave his annual supper to churchworkers, at the Vicarage, on Wednesday, March 2nd, when about thirty-six, including churchwardens, clerk, sidesmen, singing-men, ringers and chimers, responded to his invitation. After supper speeches were made and songs were sung, the most successful effort of all being that of Mr. J. Perkins, with his 'One O,' which quite 'brought down the house.' So pleasantly did the time slip by that the night really still seemed young when the party broke up at a few minutes to twelve.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
On Sunday, March 19th, after the usual Children's Service, the Teachers and Scholars assembled in the Old School for the Annual Distribution of Prizes. The Vicar addressed a few words to the children and then distributed the prizes in the following order:
SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT
On Wednesday, July 26th, all those children who had made two-thirds of the maximum number of attendances at Sunday School were entertained to tea by the Vicar on the Vicarage Lawn. After tea an adjournment was made to the House Ground for games and sports. We subjoin a list of the prize-winners:
PRICE’S GRAVE
The appearance of the grave of the late Vicar has been much improved by the cleaning and re-lettering of the monument and the addition of neat kerbing. The cost has been defrayed out of the offerings of communicants on the last few anniversaries of Mr. Price’s death, augmented by a donation from Mrs. Bowden.
