Officer gained first honours for the men, Mr W. Gaitt being second. The aggregate prize for six nights’ play were won by Mrs A. Johnstone and Mr A. Officer.

The hall committee is at present carrying out some much needed alterations to the building. The floor space is being enlarged and the stage moved further

back and made more roomy, while a new ladies’ ante room is being added to the side of the stage. The factory reopens at the end of the week for the season and it is anticipated that this year’s output will be much larger aS many suppliers have increased their herds and there is every prospect of others joining the industry.
