The festivities for so small a parish were on a large scale. The committee had £40 at its disposal, and so were able to spend £19 on a meat tea, and about £10 for sports, in addition to a plentiful supply of minerals, and all were provided, and also a packet of tobacco. The children received Coronation mugs, sweets, medals, and photos of the King and Queen. The proceedings opened with a brief but tight service in the Reading Room. The sports commenced at one o'clock, the adult section and the juniors occupying one side of the 'Moors'. Each section included nearly 30 events and there was some keen competition splendid meat tea was provided in a large marquee. |
