Awanui Flower Show

1.0.0. F. Lodge Notes

Whatuwhiwhi Notes

In spite of unfavourable weather, the Awanui Flower Show held by the Awanui branch of the Women’s Institute, proved a very successful function. Although the display of cut flowers was not up to last year's standard either as regards quality or number, the decorative section and the children’s entries were outstanding, particularly the latter section Vegetable entries were also well worthy of merit. Mrs. Sawer, Vice-President of the Dominion Federation of Women’s Institutes, gave a very instructive talk and made special comment on the children’s section which, she said, compared more than favourably with this section in the shows held in the larger centres. Mrs. Sawer also made favourable comment on the classes of entries received throughout. Champion exhibits were as follows: Champion Bloom of show—Mrs. S. G. Richards. Champion Gladioli—Mr. A. O. Vazey. Champion Rose—Mrs. J. Archibald. Following are the prize-winners : Special Prizes Trophy, Most Points in Show Mrs. E. R. Bird. Trophy, McLean Trophy, Awanui W.I. Members —Mrs. E. R. Bird.

These sports, of which many people will have pleasant memories from past years, were discontinued during the war owing to petrol restrictions. Now these are lifted, Tokerau Beach Sports Day (January Ist, 1947) promises to be as good a day as ever before. The Club is affiliated with the N.Z. Sports Union. The newly-elected Committee are as follows: Chairman —Mr. C. Metge; Secretary—Mr. Rangi Reihana; Joint Treasurers—Messrs. Dick Urlich and Cedric Hetaraka ; Members—Messrs. Simon Urlich Jnr., P. Virtue, Ratahi Reihana, F. Hetaraka, Moana Johns.
