The annual prize distribution of Badsey Sunday School took place in the Old School on Sunday week. The prizes were distributed by Mrs Henry Byrd. The Vicar, in opening, said how much he appreciated Mrs Byrd’s kindness in coming there that afternoon. Mrs Byrd needed no introduction, for they all knew here well and knew, too, how ready she always was to come forward and help in every good work, especially if it were anything in the interests of the children. Mrs Byrd, before distributing the prizes, said she was quite sure from the number of beautiful books before her, that the past year’s conduct and diligence must have been of an exemplary character. She hoped, however, that the future might witness a still further improvement – if there were room for it.
