The English Native Amateur
Championship
A commentary during play, by Bernard Darwin , from the Birkdale
Golf Course, Southport
While the English native championship is not prized as highly as the English Open or the English Amateur, it is none the less a contest of great importance in the golfing world. All competitors must be English-born, and its winners frequently find themselves in the running for the two higher titles.
Bernard Darwin , well-known golf commentator, will be on the spot with a portable transmitter. With this he will follow players from hole to hole, bringing listeners an on-the-spot account of what he sees.
There will be further commentaries this afternoon and tomorrow.

The Leggiero Quintet first broadcast in July, 1938. The members are all well-known broadcasters, both as soloists and as members of other light-music and chamber-music combinations. They are Edward Walker (flute), Reginald Kell (clarinet), Gilbert Vinter (bassoon), Frederick Grinke (violin), and John Cockerell (harp).
Gilbert Vinter is responsible for all the special arrangements. It was his idea to form a specifically broadcasting unit of five virtuosos which would devote itself to light music written by the great composers from Bach to Bartok.

' Freedom ', said Dean Swift , ' consists in a people being governed by laws made with their own consent, and slavery in the contrary.' This programme will bear eloquent testimony to this axiom, and to the long fight for freedom in franchise made by the English people.
The scene of the broadcast is a public meeting just before a modern election. Two sons of the people decide to go in and listen to the speaker. Within the framework of the speaker's remarks on franchise the whole story of the English parliamentary system is encompassed in a sequence of short scenes and speeches from past history.
