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.
