FROM THE SCHOOL LOG BOOK

ROUND THE SOCIETIES

Mothers' Union

On 29th October a number of us joined with other members from the area at a Deanery Meeting at Upchurch. For many of us it was the first time we had been in their new Hall and we loved the large windows, the canteen counter and most effective heating. We listened to Mrs. Reynolds, J.P., from Folkestone, who gave us an interesting account of her work in the magistrates' courts and some of their problems. An excellent tea, provided by the Upchurch branch, completed an enjoyable and worthwhile afternoon. Our thanks are due to our three "taxi" drivers for helping us over the short but difficult journey.

The November monthly meeting on 20th opened with prayers by the Vicar. After notices Mrs. Green introduced the speaker, Mrs. Richmond, who gave a very interesting talk on the work of the M.U. A well-supported Bring and Buy stall brought £1 14s. 0d. into our funds.
