Whist and Bridge Drive for Lifeboat Institution: A very enjoyable and successful combined bridge and whist drive was held at the Public Hall on Wednesday last week in aid of the funds of the Stevenage Branch of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution which we understand will benefit by no less a sum than £20. Mrs. Pinsent, the president of the Stevenage branch, Miss Olive Smith and Miss Eileen Thorne were responsible for the organization, and their efforts were reflected in the smoothness and general order of the proceedings. Comdr. Pinsent, R.N. was M.C. for the bridge drive, and Miss Thorne for the whist drive.
