The Mayor has received a generous donation . of £ 25 from Mr. R. M. Thornely towards the War Memorial Fund . We hope his munificent gift will act as an incentive to those residents of Leominster who have not yet made their contribution to this fund .

In these days of motor ' buses , the journey to the old - world town of Weobley may be made in comfort , and there is no reason why the sports should not attract a crowd of record dimensions , having regard to the excellent reputation which past events have built up for Weobley . are Special Bank Holiday programmes promised for Leominster Picture Palace next week .
