In close association was the Home Produce Stall which was not s}oilt with the usual collection of cheaply composed but dearly priced cakes and sweets, but was well stocked with good pickles, jams and Christmas confections made by members of the B.W.A. and handsome presents of preserved meets cie. from London firms.
