RIght back - -but all the same we managed to come into contact more than once. Result was a draw 1-1. No score in second half. Tue Apr 20 Parade as usual. Night parade as well which nicely upset a C.E.M.S. Meeting for us. Paraded at 6.30. Marched aboaut 1 1/2 along the Munier?? Road. Halted for 10 minutes & then came back again. I quite enjoyed it.
