all members of the Club, which is one of the best Clubs of its kind in the
country.
During the year under review, the Club voted for an annual outing instead
of an annual tea-party, but there was a very happy New Year's Eve tea-party
also. The 'Sale of Work' and 'Open Day' was a great success, and this, with
the special work of the Sewing Corner and weekly Whist Drive, helped to increase
the funds of the Club. The Annual Meeting of members agreed to meet the cost
of renovating the easy chairs and re-covering the billiard, table, and as in
previous years, the Club made a donation of £100 from their funds to the Association
towards the cost of the Club, which, with its new lino-tiled floor and
elegent redecoration is certainly a model of its kind.
The Association would like to record its thanks and appreciation of the
work done by the Management Committee, Officers and Voluntary Wardens and its
Members.
Pymmes Park Club for Old People
During the year this Club has continued to provide an important social
centre in the southern part of the Borough, and whilst its membership is predominantly
male, it nevertheless enjoys the company of a few ladies, who
assist in tea-making. The Club organised an excellent outing for its members,
and with the help of Councillor Miss D.M. Oswald and a band of lady helpers,
a magnificent Christmas meal was enjoyed by all the members.
The Club has been one of the strong supporters of the Inter-Club matches
with William Preye Club and Lord Morrison Hall Club, and they have provided
great pleasure to the members of the three Clubs, and it is generally acknowledged
that 'Pymmes Park' have had a very happy and successful year.
It is with pleasure that the Association records its thanks and appreciation
of their services to the Management Committee, Officers and Voluntary
Wardens of the Club.
(j) FOOT SERVICE
The Foot Service Clinics operated by the British Red Cross Soceity,
Edmonton, on alternate Mondays at William Preye Club and the Red Cross Headquarters,
continue to provide an essential and efficient service to the old
people who need urgent chiropody treatment. During the year under review,
the Foot Clinic gave no less than 1,700 treatments and a number of these
cases were brought to the Clinics by the Red Cross Ambulance.
It is imperative that old people with foot ailments should have early
treatment, and it is the courtesy and efficiency of this service which has
earned the British Red Cross, Edmonton, the gratitude of its patients.
As a token of appreciation for the special services given by the Red
