Dance – Bognor Regis Observer – Wednesday, 30 March 1921
Transcript:

Fancy Dress Dance. The fancy dress dance which was held in the Pavilion on Easter Monday evening proved a very pleasant and successful function, a large gathering taking part. The prizes for the best costume were awarded as follows:—Ladies Miss M. Catt (18th Century); 2, Miss Maidment (Jockey).—Gentlemen: 1, Mr. L. Maidment (Blue Beard); 2, Mr. Blackman (Star Tea Company). Two interesting dancing competitions were a feature of the programme, the fox-trot contest being won by Mr. Clifford Smith and Miss Dyke and the waltzing by Mr. G. Sims and Miss H. Tompkins. Miss Bransby Williams was the judge for the competitions, while the award for the best fancy dress was decided by ballot. Mrs Cory (better known as Miss Winifred Graham the authoress) distributed the prizes, and the music for the dancing was supplied by Messrs Cleere.
