Apologies for , absence were received from Mrs R. Boyce and Miss Smith. The question of exhibiting at the Feilding Show caused a general discussion, members deciding, that it would be worth while to endeavour to make an entry. It was decided to leave the arrangements for the picnic till the next meeting. Mrs Foster read a most interesting letter from Mrs Creighton Smith, of Fishbourne.
