Taneatua Institute Gardening Circle's Annual Spring Show

The annual spring show. of the Taneatua W.I. Gardening- Circle held in the hall was a most successful event, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. There was a good attendance of W.I. members and their friends, who were entertained with two sketches provided by members of the Drama Circle. A competition arranged by Mrs McDonald and incorporating the names of Taneatua residents was most popular and resulted in a tie between Mesdames H. Hill, Gardner and Semmens.
