Surprise party to bid farewell to Violet


RESIDENTS of the almshouses a t Waddington conspired successfully to surprise retiring war­


den Mrs Violet Leach. Despite all the work needed to pick suitable gifts and


prepare a meal for some 30 people, Mrs Leach was unaware of her surprise presentation. It was sprung on her by the residents, who wanted to express their grati­


band, Harold, over the years. The presentation was followed by the meal. Our picture shows Mrs Leach trying out the chairs.

Sabden villagers put names to bid for all-weather pitch
