The Wolverton Express 11 November 1927
Whist Drive: One of the most enjoyable whist drives that has been held in the village was that which took place on Friday evening last at the Carrington Hall. It was on behalf of the Castlethorpe Branch of the British Legion, and the greatest credit was due to Mr. A. Masterman, who organised the function with his customary ability, and also very efficiently discharged the duties of M.C. to the greatest satisfaction of all. There were 43 players taking part, and the winners were: Ladies: 1 Mrs. J. May, 2 Miss Clare; gentlemen: 1 Mr. J. Prisley, 2 Mr. W. D. Markham; booby prizes: Miss N. Mapley and Mr. A. Nichols; mystery prizes: Miss Rawlinson and Mr. Rawlinson. Rabbits were given as mystery prizes in both the gentlemen’s and ladies sections, and both prizes went to the same house. During the evening refreshments were served by Miss Burbidge, Mrs. Wingrave, and Mrs. Gibbons. General assistance was given by Messrs. W. G. Clarke, H. Amos, R. Panter, F. Stones, and others. As the result of the drive the sum of £1/9/- was realised for the children’s holiday sports in the summer.
