PURLEY.
The Spring Golf Meeting of the Branch was
held on May 21st, at Woodcote Park, Coulsdon,
and thirty-three members played for the Ninth
Wipers Cup.
The Meeting was distinguished by one of the
members, namely, Lieut. B. R. Brill, producing
an exceptionally brill-iant round and making a
return of four up on Bogey having holed the
course in 78 strokes. This naturally left the rest
of the troops gasping for breath, and the two
nearest for second place at one down they
were Lieut. J. D. Mill and the Adjutant, who
was awarded second prize on account of a better
last nine holes.
A supper followed the Meeting, and a very
enjoyable function it was, with Major H. G.
Harris in the Chair. As usual, the prize-winners
and delinquents who made no return were called
upon for an explanation. The Bombardier and
the Amphibian also joined in with a speech and
entertainment, and after a hearty vote of
thanks to the Host Club, the Meeting terminated.
MILITARY WHIST DRIVE AT
COLCHESTER.
The Colchester and district branch of the
Ypres League held a military whist drive at
Kacklin's Cafe, High Street, Colchester, on
Monday evening.
The object was to raise funds to assist poor
people to visit the graves of relatives who fell
in the war.
There were 92 players, and the winning table
was Ireland (Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Bunting
and Mrs. Millbourn) 2, Denmark (Mrs. Sar-
geant, Mrs. Finch, Mrs. Langley and Mrs.
Borer). The lowest was Egypt (Mrs. Imms,
Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Powell and Mrs. Barford).
The M.C. was Mr. Eves. During the evening
other prizes were won by Mr. Firmin and Mr.
Scott.
Mr. H. Snow, the branch's hon. secretary
was responsible for the general arrangements,
assisted by Capt. C. Rooney, Capt. A. C. Palmer
and Mr. W. H. Taylor.
