Fundraising
Amongst receipts from entertainments, the Committee have been gratified by
the sum of £70, proceeds of a Flag Day organised by Mrs J Walker Atley at
Normanton, Altofts and Whitwood (Yorkshire); £45 2s 9d, the results of a
dramatic performance by the Northern Patrol at Kirkwall; £32 15s 2d, raised
by a concert at Southampton, under the arrangements made by Mrs Coxwell,
Lieut-Commander Grant RN, Lieut. Phelips RN, and Lieut. King RGA. A display
of dancing given by the Chelsea College of Physical Education for Women
produced £26 19s 4d, and a Flag Day at Portstewart, Co. Londonderry, resulted
in £20 13s being remitted to the Central Office by Miss Lizzie Knox, who
promoted it. A specially gratifying receipt should be given a prominent
place, viz, of £30 8s, resulting from two ‘cinema’ performances, quite
spontaneously arranged at the Front by Lieut-Colonel JH Thresher, MVO, Camp
Commandant at the General Headquarters in France.
