Miss Armstrong sang a bracket of songs and a fine selection of compositions were played on the piano by Miss Winters. “The Awaiti Players,” including members of the Otakiir Drama Group, were congratulated by the members present, on their recent success at Rotorua, where they competed with the play, “Sanctuary” gaining first place, and also winning the Silver Cup. Mrs Hutton spoke on behalf of the Red Cross, which would appreciate any clothing suitable for sending overseas.
