        MR. ALBERT DIMOND DEAD

        Prominent Organiser Of Cheltenham Dances

        Mr. Albert Dimond, who died at 9 Selkirk-street, Cheltenham, this morning, long took a prominent part in the organisation of dancing fixtures in the town.

        He was a native of the town, and for many years was engaged in the workroom of the tailoring department of Cavendish House, but owing to ill health had to give up three years ago.

        At one time Mr. Dimond ran a dancing class at the old Waverley Rooms, and afterwards at the Oddfellows' Hall, in conjunction with the late Mr. Sid Norris. He was a member of Cheltenham Conservative Club, and for a number of years he frequently gave his services as M.C. in charge of the whist at the club's whist dances.

        His friends recall that in conjunction with the late Mr. Mealing, who was foreman for the builders of the Cheltenham Town Hall, Mr. Dimond ran the first "popular" ball ever held in that building. This took place shortly after the hall was opened, and it was organised partly in commemmoration of the successful conclusion of the scheme.

        Mr. Dimond's wife died four years ago, since when his widowed daughter, Mrs. Parker, has acted as his housekeeper. His only other child is Mr. A. W. Dimond, Malvern View, Alstone-croft, Cheltenham.

        [WHITSUNTIDE WEDDINGS IN TOWN AND COUNTY]
        [CUPID DEFIES THE WAR]

        The war and the cancellation of the Whitsun holiday did not lessen the number of wedding ceremonies in Cheltenham and district over the week-end.

        DIMOND-HODGSON

        The wedding took place at Christ Church, Cheltenham, on Saturday, of Mr. Richard Dimond, the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Dimond, of Roland, Alstone-lane, and Miss Aileen Joan Hodgson, then daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Hodgson, of 138 Gloucester-road, Cheltenham.

        The bride was for some time a teacher in Christ Church Sunday School, and the bridegroom sung in the choir.

        The service which was choral, was conducted by the Rev. Charles T. Peers, the choir singing the hymns "Lead us, Heavenly Father," and "The King of Love."

        The best man was Mr. Cyril Bramley, the bride being given away by her father.

        A close-fitting dress of satin, with halo and veil, was worn by the bride, who carried a bouquet of white carnations. The bridesmaids, Miss Una Thompson, a cousin of the bride, and Miss Dorothy Burridge, wore blue taffeta dresses with cyclamen-coloured lace sleeves, with lace filling in the square neckline, and head-dresses of anemones.

        They also carried bouquets of anemones.

        A reception was held by the bride's parents at the Cadena Corner House, Promenade.

        The bride left for the honeymoon, which will be spent at Weston-super-Mare, wearing a floral dress with navy blue edge to edge coat, navy blue hat and accessories.
