Putford Church bells will be rung at intervals throughout Coronation day, when all the parishioners will participate with true Coronation spririt in the day's events. A united service in the Parish Church at 2pm will be followed by sports for children and adults which will last throughout the afternoon and early part of the evening, with a break for a free tea for all. At the tea, mugs are to be presented to all children under school leaving age.
The King's speech will be broadcast at Churston Barn at 8pm and from then until 1am on Thursday a social and dance will be held in the school room, where free refreshments will be provided.
The Rev J Williams (Rector) has acted as Chairman of the Celebrations Committee, in the place of Capt. Farewell C.I.E R.I.N who was unable to attend meetings through indisposition. Mrs M G Kingdon (Headteacher at the School) is Hon. Secretary and Mr P J Walter, of Churston Manor, Hon. Treasurer. A house-to-house collection for funds received a generous response, about £17 being raised.
