1959 Weare Giffard

Husband and wife only – that was the strict ruling for those attending a Christmas and New Year social at Weare Giffard Parish Hall on Thursday week.
The social was the second annual event of its kind at Weare Giffard and is an experiment being carried out by the rector and his wife, the Rev and Mrs J M Lucas.
There was an attendance of 44 at the social, all husbands and wives. Young people of the village and some older members of the local Mothers’ Union branch helped with refreshments and babysitting. The programme of dancing and games was organised by Mr D G Glover.
