Women's Section 57th Birthday
Women’s Section
held their 57th birthday on Sunday 28th March.
A total of around
200 members and visitors from sister clubs within the district were in
attendance.
A lovely party
atmosphere with plenty to drink and eat, the entertainment was the Bay
Dixie band accompanied by Soloist Bill Ord. So a great afternoon was enjoyed by
all.
Ladies Day 26th August
As always the Women's Section monthly meeting is attended
by about 150 of their members, but this month there was an increase of 80, these
extra were from the Mount Primary School.
The school had come along to entertain everyone on the
day, and what a great show it was. Everyone remarked on how professional they
all were in their costumes, and putting on a great display of action performing.
With the afternoon entrance fee of 50 cents, which
included a door prize, afternoon tea, catching up with old friends, and a great
show, it would be hard to find such a great afternoon elsewhere. With the
Women's Sections membership of around 900 it is amazing that the club is not
packed out every month.
