Offering taken and dedicated the programme consisted of readings, a skit, and a duet by Thelma and Jean accompanied by a tape with Alan Ferguson on the piano.

Blackstock Square Dancers held their Christmas Dance on Fri., Dec. 11 with nearly perfect attendance. All had a good time due to the extra efforts put on by our callers Carolyn and Glenn Dowsan an added treat was that one of our group with extra talent Albert Harper, delighted us all with several comic songs in the George Formby style, accompanied on the piano by his wife Lillian.
