Society’s looms, Church Lane, Napier. Mr. G. B. Menzies presided. Leave of absence was granted Mrs T. V. Morrin and Mr. C. Briggs. On the motion of Mr. Wainscott, a ribbon parade will be held on Boxing Dav at McLean Park in conjunction with the Mardi Gras, the following committee being appointed to arrange the parade: Messrs Wainscott, Sheppard, Lavey, Hilliker, Gleeson, Broughton, Munro and Mrs McGaffin. A question was raised that Hastings and district fanciers had no place to leave their dogs after the parade, but the Mardi Gras committee advised that sufficient room will be marked off, with staples on the grounds, so that owners may staple their dogs during the day.
