We were treated to a delightful evening of entertainment at the St. Andrew's Church Hall on Friday night when a variety concert was produced. The hall was packed to capacity by an appreciative audience. Credit has to be given to the Harris brothers, Lawrence and Richard for the excellent programme they arranged. With David Kossick as master of ceremonies and Nura Kanis as accompanist, (except for two numbers when Rupert- Baldwin and E. O'Neil Shaw acted) the concert went along on ball bearings.
