Magnificent weather prevailed, and the 'town was packed with visitors. A memorable response was made to the appeal. There were seven candidates for Oueeu, and this alone resulted in £4271 12s lOd being collected. The winner, Hiss C'laribel King, representative of the bowling and tennis clubs, polled over 131,000 votes. The official figures and the net result are not available, but 0,500 will be available for the Belgian Fund, and this will bring the district's contribution up to over i 11,000.
