ANNIVERSARY CAKE: Chairwoman Marion Lewis, flanked by treasurer Christine Duke and secretary Christine Richardson prepares to cut the anniversary cake while members of Dalton Flower Club look on
A FLOWER club’s first meeting in 18 months was particularly memorable as it coincided with its 50th anniversary.
Having been unable to meet since January last year because of the pandemic, members of Dalton Flower Club were delighted to get together for the first-time in a year-and-a-half last week.
Fittingly, the floral arrangement theme was “golden” to mark the occasion.
The group met at Hutton Magna Village Hall.
Chairwoman Marion Lewis, who has been with the club for 42 years and has served as its leader for about three decades, said: “We used to meet at Dalton and Gayle Village Hall until they double booked us.

Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in his box at the theatre, and the killer’s bid to escape across the stage, is recreated in a whirlwind sequence in DW Griffith’s 1915 epic The Birth of a Nation. The killing of Lincoln, by the actor John Wilkes Booth, is the most famous murder in a theatre but several other films have since built mysteries around deadly crimes committed before a captive audience. Paul Leni’s dazzling The Last Warning (1928) concerns a Broadway actor’s on-stage death. In the British movie Murder at the Windmill (1949), directed by former stage actor Val Guest, a punter is killed during a burlesque show; his body is discovered along with a pipe, an umbrella and a pair of kippers when the theatre is being cleaned.
