Denaby Cricket Club Ball

A Record Success.

The Denaby and Cadeby Cricket, Tennis and Bowls Club held their annual ball on Friday evening, when, in every way, the popular event was a huge success.

A very large company assembled in the Large Hall, and the attendance constituted a record. Nearly 250 people were present, and there was a brilliant display of colour, there being some charming dresses. The taste in colour was in a light direction, and the majority of the costumes were of light and delicate shades. The most popular were cream, and the lighter shades of pink, though in contrast to these, were several very striking dresses of deeper colour which afforded it very brilliant contrast.

The hall was well lighted, and the company was not congested, there being ample floor space. The programme of dances had undergone a change from the last Ball. The modern tendency in dancing series to be for a revival of the valse, but at Denaby the programme contained more fox-trots and one-steps than the statelier vale. The tastes of Denaby are evidently not in accordance with the recent tendency to return to the valse, but evidently favours the fox-trot more than the former.

The dance programme consisted of some 24 dances, of which only seven were valses. The Doncaster Picture House Orchestra had been engaged, and their playing met with general approval, several dances being repeated in response to the applause.

During the interval an excellent supper was provided and was admirably served. The committee responsible for the hall had arranged the catering themselves, and their work was fully appreciated, and the suppe thoroughly enjoyed.

Mr. G.L. Robinson was the secretary for the ball, and in this capacity he was assisted by Mr. Narroway (assistant secretary). The M.C.’s were Messrs. H. C. Harrison, W. Still., R. Wilkie’s’, F. IL Ogles’. W. Widdowson and . If. Clemson. The ball was an unqualified success. and was easily a record.
