Scope and content

Volume used firstly as an address book for the Sunday Choir, with names and addresses of members [1906-1914].

The book is then used for the minutes of the Garden Party and Summer Fete from 1924, with the programme pasted in and the minutes handwritten. In the front is a large bundle of typescript papers detailing the prizes each year for the Athletic competitions and the Gymkhana. There are also 6 loose photographs in the volume of the Summer fete.

The reverse of the volume has been used for the minutes of the committee to organise a garden party for wounded soldiers, to be held at Chiswick. Due to wartime restrictions an alternative indoor entertainment was proposed; this was eventually canclled and the money was to be used for an outing for wounded men at Holmleigh instead. [1916-1917]
