New Years Ball Was A Sell Out

More than 750 guests attended a New Years' Eve Ball at the Lucas Sports and Social Club, Parker Lane, Burnley. As on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day there was a complete sell out. Entertainment was provided by a Liverpool group, the Plainsmen and the club's resident band, the Frank Waddington Quartet. On Tuesday afternoon a party of members and friends of superannuated employees of the Pendle Co-operative Society visited Brooke Bond tea factory in Burnley. They were told about tea exporting countries, the blending of various teas and the packing and selling of their popular teas. The party was afterwards provided with light refreshments.
