FEBRUARY 5, 1920 -V Sir Charles C. Wakefield has al- ways been a con- sistent supporter of the best boxing traditions. Added to this, Sir Charles is one of those who have undisguised admiration for the R.A.F. Combining the two, this little display of tro- phies and medals gives substantial proof of how Sir Charles has ma- terially backed up his views, the tro- phies, cups and medals having been presented by him for boxing competitions amongst officers and men of the R.A.F. m ON January 27 a most interesting programme of music, including Sterndale Bennett's " The May Queen," was rendered by the Sopwith Choral Society, the concert taking place in the. firm's own entertainment room. Under the direction of Mr. Alan Fenn who acted as conductor—he had organised and trained the choir from the beginning—the evening was a triumphant success, and reflected the greatest credit upon all concerned. It also affords an admirable example of how, in a progressive firm, the good feeling that should exist between employers and employed, can be stimu- lated and maintained by common interests. All the vocalists, including soloists, are employed in the manufacture of A.B.C. motor cycles at the works of the Sopwith Aviation and Engineering Co., Ltd. . . MR. LOUIS NOEL has recently been on a short visit to London, where he renewed acquaintance with many old friends at the Royal Aero Club and at Hendon. He appears to have given up his interest in flying, being actively engaged in other business in Roumania. He has a wide knowledge of affairs in the East, and spent a great part of his time during the War in that part of Europe. • MR. JULLEROT, who will be remembered by many for his connection with the first Bristol flying school and his many experiences in various parts of the world at a time when flying was really new, is now back in London recovering from a serious accident. Mr. Jullerot, who has for some timejpast been associated with the Aviation Department of Messrs. THE NAPIER ANNUAL STAFF DINNER : A little function which seems to grow in enjoyabiUty just as steadily as the number of diners mounts-up, year by year, is the Annual Dinner of the staff of D. Napier and Son, Ltd. Held on January 16 last, the 1920 gathering gave insight as to the method by which Napiers cut-out unrest—simply by doing everything possible to foster the best of good fellowship between the directors, managers, super- £~( Vi intendents and workers. -; . . ...,-..^_ 167 _.-•:...--,, ;7-; ^-;77";7 :7'':.-•-'/
