Never before had the management to cope with such a big crowd and the fact that everybody went away thoroughly happy speaks volumes for the very ractful and efficient manner Mr. P. Chessex and his merry band of workers coped with the rush.

'An excellent dinner was served and the many that came after dinner also had places found for them though, even early in the evening it seemed as though no more room could be found for any body.
