TICKET - MUNDIJONG & DISTRICT CALEDONIAN SOCIETY BURNS DINNER DANCE

Ticket to the Burns Dinner Dance held by the Mundijong & District Caledonian Society at the Armadale District Hall on Saturday 23 January 1971. A mistake was made with the cards which had Saturday 23 January 1970 printed instead of 1971 (in 1970 January 23 was a Friday) and the year has been corrected with a red pen.
