The Bucks Standard November 3rd 1928
British Legion Whist Drive. The second whist drive of the season was held in the Council School on Friday last and proved even a greater success than the previous one. In spite of the inclement weather 25 tables were filled with players. The premier prize of the drive was a pig value £1, which was kindly given by Mr. W. H. Smith; other donors of prizes being Mrs. B. Gobbey; Mrs. E. Pittam and Mr. S. Markham. The prize winners were: Highest score, Miss Young (Cranfield); next highest, Mrs. H. Warner and Mrs. C. Harding; lowest scores, Mrs. Foster and Mr. H. Warner; mystery prizes, Mrs. J. Nichols, Mr. Bushby, Mrs. Stimson and Mr. J. Bavington. Mr. A. Masterman, in his usual efficient manner, carried out the duties of M.C., and together with Messrs. J. Rawlinson, W. D. Markham and R. Holt, was responsible for the general management. Refreshments were served by Mrs. W. D. Markham, assisted by Mrs. J. May and Miss N. Markham. Evidence was very pronounced that a thoroughly enjoyable evening had been spent. At the close it was announced that the branch was arranging to hold the usual Poppy Day concert on Saturday, Nov. 10, and that a first class party from Northampton had been specially engaged for this purpose; also the United Memorial Service would be held (this year at the Parish Church) on the following day, Nov 11, at 2.30. On Saturday, Nov. 17, the branch dinner would take place, to which the committee offered a very cordial invitation to every ex-Service man in the village.
