[Xmas Day contd]
7 pm I went ahead with the dressing. After a long time we succeeded in doing up & the Show was a great success. Alf Moss won the ladies prize as a girl & Perryman the gents as a Roman. My outfit was considered very good also Dicks & reflected much credit on him for his work in making. Felt like bed after the Show.
