[Guinea Pig Club 'eve of dinner' dance souvenir]
A message from the President of the Guinea Pig Club, Sir Archibald H. McIndoe,
C.B.E., M.S., M.Sc., F.R.C.S., F.A.C.S.

“THE Eve-of-Dinner Dance is a new venture due to the enthusiasm of Ann Standen. It is intended to give our members a further opportunity of renewing not only their own friendships but of meeting again all those good East Grinstead people who remember them so well.
I am sure it will have your support, particularly as all the proceeds go to help the Club in its work. So a hearty welcome indeed to all Guinea Pigs, Friends of the Guinea Pig Club, and Guinea Pig Club Supporters”
