+Although last Friday's club room party was only an afterthought, put on a free night in response to popular request, and despite the fact that many were away for a "bank holiday" week-end, it was well attended. At first some centrifugal force seemed to keep those present enmeshed in the furniture at the edge of the room, leaving the dance floor bare, but the music was the sort that went to the feet and it soon drew them in. It was provided by a pianist and a saxophonist from the Syd Ross Studio, assisted by Roy Gaddlin from the Canoe Club, with his violin. Amongst those present was Gavin Talbot who, what with chalking notices on the board and conducting the orchestra, had a busy evening. Nancy Moppett and Frank Burka were there too. They did not appear to approve of the night life of the wicked city.
