After the routine business had been dealt with, the programme for a further six months was formed. The roll cat!, “Should We Continue to Have Sale Tables i” proved them to be very pooular. Brisk business was done at the sale table, which brought in a substantial sum. A demonstration in the making of fibre trays was then given by Mrs. J, Fleming.
