Wright's Christmas Party 1976

24th December 1976

Children of employees of M Wright and Sons, Quorn, had an enjoyable time at a party held in the canteen.

The party was organised by Mrs Margaret Lane, with Mrs Dorothy Lidierth (3rd from right) who worked in Wright's factory canteen, Mrs Dorothy Bignall and Mrs May Bellwood-worth as helpers. There was a gathering of 30, and games and a disco were arranged. The manager of Wright's, Mr David Williams, acted as Father Christmas.
