Web masters comments:

Cinema nights became more frequent as the population increased mainly due to British technical personnel.

Friday 11 September
 Grand Concert:
The contempary news sheet lists it as Friday. However Blast the Bush, p 111. lists the concert on Saturday night.
Assuming that both refer to the same concert then the news sheet is likely to be correct in date.   Blast the Bush appears to have been written some years later.

Saturday 12 September
  X200 Dinner
