British Dental Association ball at the Oxford Town Hall

Dance at the Oxford Town Hall

This is an invitation to the 1963 British Dental Association ball held at the Oxford Town Hall on Tuesday 23rd July, 1963. My grandfather Eric Fletcher was a dentist on Beaumont Street for many years and he and my grandmother Shelagh used to attend lots of dances. After my grandmother passed away last year we began sorting through their things and found lots of invitations to various Dental Association balls held in Oxford.

I really like the embossing of the Oxford coat of arms and that you can see where a mistake was made on the date which has been coloured over! My grandmother was delighted when I started working for the Museum of Oxford in the Town Hall - she always said that the Town Hall had the best loos in Oxford!
