INFORMAL GATHERINGS
122
THE YPRES TIMES
Visit to the Houses of Parliament.
On Saturday, July 16th, a very pleasant
afternoon was spent when 84 members and
friends of the League availed themselves of the
opportunity to visit the Houses of Parliament.
The party was divided into two groups and
conducted over this most historic building, each
room being fully explained in detail by our
guides to the great interest of the party. Time
passed only too quickly, but it is hoped that oh
some future occasion we may have the chance to
arrange a further visit.
We express our very sincere thanks to our
Chairman, Lieut.-General Sir W. P. Pulteney,
for his kindness in making the event possible
and much gratitude is also due to Captain E. L.
Elliott who left nothing undone to make the
afternoon such a success.
Tenth Annual Smoking Concert.

namely, the Annual Reunion Smoking Concert,
to be held on Thursday, October 27th, at the

S.W.i.

Viscount Allenby, G.C.B., G.C.M.G., etc.

Doors will be open at 7 p.m. and the Concert
commences at 7.30 p.m. The programme is
being provided by "The Gossips" Concert
Party, who have been specially engaged for the
evening, and we anticipate a very excellent
entertainment. Community singing will be a
feature of the programme.
The Annual Concerts held in the past have
been splendidly attended, so we trust that we
shall see another record function this year,
which naturally depends on individual support.
We therefore ask everyone to do their utmost
to make the reunion widely known, and the
Committee appeals to members to contribute
their share by not only being present themselves
but also by bringing a friend.
Cornflowers will be on sale at the Hall, price
2d. each, and every one present should wear
this Ypres League emblem.
Applications for tickets, price 5s., 2s. 6d. and
