Matata Women’s Institute Flower Show Draws Splendid Entries

The Matata Women’s Institute held its annual Flower Show recently. It was rather unfortunate that the day should be so very wet, but that did not deter those who had entries to put in. Entries were good in all sections.

The organisers were pleased to. see .so many children taking such an interest in their section, there being as many as fifteen entries in some classes.
