ALDINGTON - CHRISTMAS TREE AND CONCERT
Very much enjoyed was the tea, Christmas tree and concert, given in the Baptist Schoolroom, Aldington, on Wednesday evening. After tea the gifts from the tree were presented to the children by Mr A Butler. No child was forgotten, thanks to the care taken by the Superintendant (Mr Hartwell) and Mrs Hartwell, both of whom spared no pains to make the evening a success. Nor were their efforts unrewarded, for a delighted time was spent both by the children and the adults present. At seven o’clock the concert began, many of the children taking an active part.
