Lloyd, amid applause, arose to make his reply, in the course of which he thanked his parents for giving the party for him and those present for their gifts, and the honour that he felt at the presence of so many of his friends. Mr Tim Melvin proposed the toast to Our Host and Hostess, to which Mr Bothe suitably responded. In proposing the toast of Absent Friends, Mr Ken Jones read telegrams received from many well wishers. The toast 'Our Caterers' was proposed by the Host of the evening.

Mrs Wells suitably responded. Mr C. C. Bothe proposed the toast to Our Chairman to which Mr Hyde responded. The remainder of the evening was spent in games and dancing.
