 You were given a little ticket with a text on it;  you collected all these tickets and when you had so many you had a morning hymn book.   Then we had a prayer and a hymn, which was nearly always "God sees the little sparrow fall, it meets his tender view".   We had that with Mr Lacey playing the violin and another gentleman playing the organ.   Mr Albert Rixon would take the class of girls and have a reading from the bible and perhaps another prayer.   By that time it got around to 12 o'clock, so off we went back home again.

 Sunday School anniversaries were great.   The highlight of the year, we had a treat.   Whit Sunday and Monday.   Monday was the day sitting on the grass having our tea.   Grown ups were inside.   We had bread and butter, plain and fruit cake, which all tasted so good.   Bread and butter never tasted so good.   Then into Mr Tyler's field for games, twos & threes and kissing the ring.   Oh what fun.   Teachers came round with a clothes basket with food left over from tea.   One of the preachers from Wycombe came and threw sweets for us to pick up.   Don't think they were wrapped - how they did not fall in a cow pat."

−	~~The object being to assist in establishing a Sunday School in this place.~~
−
−	~~The music was selected from the works of J Fawcett Snr., Pueitta, J Shonbridge, C Ward and W Ward.~~
−
−	~~The following are the pieces performed -----Instrumental. Introduction (Paradiee) : Chorus. A Second Adam : Bass solo. The Word of Promise :~~
−
−	~~Chorus. Angels of God Rejoice : Duet. On Bethels Plains : Chorus. Joy to an Exciled World : Duet. He Comes the World’s Desire and Lord~~

−	~~Chorus. Thou oh Lord Art Our Father : Duet. The Virgin Blest : Anthem. Strike Seraphs Strike : Treble solo. Eve’s Lament : Anthem. The Second Advent~~
−
−	~~Trio. Descending From His Azure Throne : Overture. The Caliph of Bagdad : Chorus & solo. Strike the Cymbal : Anthem. The Lord is my Shepherd~~
−
−	~~Anthem. I Was Glad : Finale. The Heavenly Pilot~~
−
−	~~Most of the pieces were effectively given.~~
−
−	The solo “Eve’s Lament” was very sweetly sung by Miss Gomme and warmly applauded. The Messrs. Biggs and Ward sang “He comes the worlds desire and Lord” with great taste. A unanimous encore was the result , when it was repeated with still greater effect. We must not omit to mention the beautiful trio of “The Second Advent”. “Descending From His Azure Throne” This was admirably given by the Messrs Plumridge, Biggs and Lacey. The band also played the Overture with great spirit and vivacity.
−
−	~~The concert terminated with Fawcett’s favourite piece “The Heavenly pilot”. All the audience stayed until the final note.~~
−
−	Between the first and second parts, Mr J Stockwell, the Minister of the Chapel made some very appropriate remarks on the advantages of education and at the conclusion Mr T Martin proposed a vote of thanks to the performers making also some remarks on the innocent enjoyment of the evening.
−
−	It will be seen by the above list that the performers wisely selected such pieces as could be effectively given by amateurs; this is not always the case, for it not infrequently happens that the choruses of the mighty Handel, and other great masters are attempted with a few voices and instruments and in some instances without any accompaniment, thus imparting a character of insipidity to their grandest productions.
−
−	In concluding these remarks, we should be happy to see the time when every town and village in the kingdom can boast of its choral society, and it’s annual musical festival; such meeting cannot but have a beneficial effect in their tendancy.
