Events

There were the usual displays of dancing, gymnastics, dog shows, karate and so on; the familiar Croydon Flying Club and Epsom and Ewell Brass Band also featured. The quirky miniature railway was especially successful with the children. Altogether the net takings from the day amounted to about £4,000.
