“FOR HE’S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW”
***********************************
A very pleasing ceremony was performed in the Village Hall at Bridge on
Tuesday June 14th when Mr. Cyril Prickett, who has been a grocer in the
village all his life, was thanked for his service and many kindnesses by his
friends and customers, and wished happiness in his retirement.
Mrs. Olive Knight, Chairman of the Village Hall Management Committee,
presented him with a parting gift, a cheque for £74 subscribed by his friends
and customers in the village, and thanked him in particular for his voluntary
work as booking clerk for the village hall.
He was also thanked by Canon Colin Perry for his many services, and by
Mrs. Young representing the Parish Council for his past work as a Councillor.
Small gifts were presented from residents of The Close, who had also
contributed towards the cheque.
Mr. Prickett, deeply moved by these expressions of goodwill and friend-
ship, gave a short speech of thanks, and the ceremony concluded with cheers
and the singing of “He’s a jolly good fellow”.
Mrs. O. Knight would like to thank all who contributed so generously to
the subscription appeal.
