Despite the boisterous weather on Saturday there was a good attendance at the bring-and-buy shop day at Otaki Beach, and it must have been very gratifying to the organisers to have such a liberal suppiy of goods given them. There were many articles at very tempting prices, and it was no wonder that splendid business resulted. The stall-holders worked energetically and deserve credit for their eiforts, as a result of which a substantial amount will be paid off the debt owing 011 the church building. The stallholders were: — Tea rooms: Mesdames Mitchell and Anderson, and the Misses Holmes; produce: Mrs. Hast and Miss Evans; cakes: Mesdames Hawkins and Richardson; work stall: Mesdames Critchley, Davidson and Anderson; jumble: Mesdames Keys and Peters; sweets: Misses Elliott and P.
