Christmas Market: Clearing Debt on Boys’ and Girls’ Union: Plans for a Christmas Market at the Town Hall in aid of the Birmingham Boys’ and Girls’ Union are already being made. A reception is being given today at Little Wick by Mrs. Roy Pinsent to enable those who are running or helping to run stalls and other activities, to meet Lady Patricia Ward who is acting chairman of the executive on behalf of her brother, the Earl of Dudley. The object of this effort is to raise funds for finally clearing the Union of its accumulated debt. It will be recalled that in December Mr. Roy Pinsent gave L. 1,000 for this purpose on condition that a similar sum was given by other friends. This sum was found. In fact, the total sum raised, including Mr. Pinsent’s gift, was well over £2,000, leaving the Union a little more than £1,000 in debt. It is hoped to raise considerably more than this sum at the Christmas Market.

Challenge of £1,000 Gift: Offer to Boys’ and Girls’ Union: Deficit Attacked: A challenge with a donation of £1,000 as prize was thrown out by Mr. Roy Pinsent at the annual meeting of the Birmingham Boys’ and Girls’ Union last night. Mr. Pinsent, who is chairman of the union executive committee, announced that to clear an accumulated deficit he would make a donation equivalent to the amount collected for the union between July and the end of the year, not exceeding £1,000. He added that £600 had been raised so far, and that if another £300 were forthcoming he had promised the final £100. … … Satisfactory Accounts: Mr. Pinsent proposed the adoption of the statement of accounts, which, he said, was extremely satisfactory in a very difficult period. This was the only year since 1919 in which there had not been a serious debit balance. He did not consider the present credit balance – £4 16s 8d – had been achieved at he expense of the actual working of the clubs, but by great forethought and care in every detail, in which respect the Warden merited every congratulation. …
