The series of social evenings organised by the local members of the U.A.O.D. were brought to a conclusion on Thursday evening with an enjoyable dance and euchre tournament in the Gaiety Theatre and Soldiers’ Club, adjoining. The ballroom was tastefully decorated with greenery and bunting, and round the front of the dress-circle were the letters U.A.0.D., prominently displayed. The floor was comfortably filled, and the members of the lodge were distinguishable by the regalia worn.
