Belesky, president, stated that the manner in which the members entered the competition showed their appreciation towards the donors and hoped that more would enter for the local competitions which would be held throughout the season. School Concert On Friday evening a most enjoyable concert was staged by the pupils of the Lumsden School. The programme was full of variety, the drill and dancing of the senior girls being quite novel. Mr James Campbell, on behalf of the committee, thanked those present for their attendance, stating that the funds from the concert were to be used to pay the fares of the children to the annual picnic to be held at Bluff. Mr Campbell also thanked Mr Owen and his assistants who had taken so much trouble in training the pupils and stated that £ll had been taken at the door, but that £lB would be necessary to meet the fares. A dance was held at the conclusion of the concert bringing the takings up to £l3.
