tual event beginning a half hour later,

novelty vehicle races. Vehicles eligi-
ble may be constructed from beds,

presented to the contestants during

Music for the dance at the Saturday
night dance at the Rec Centre will be
provided by the Exeter main street
jug band. They are back by popular
demand. Prizes for the two fair draws
