Mrs Beu welcomed a new member, Mrs Vincent. Several apologies for absence were received, including one from Mrs E. Richards, who is at present an inmate of the Greytown Hospital. It was stated that the recent Women’s Division of the Farmers' Union shop day had been very successful. Mrs Beu gave details of Wairarapa remits for the conference to be held in Wellington in July.

Mrs Beu thanked the performers for having provided such an excellent entertainment. Three competitions were drawn, being won by Mrs Chas. Brown (silver dish), Miss Joyce Rice (d’oyley), Mr R. Page (cushion). Mrs Nicholson won a word building competition, Mrs F. C. Bunny being second. A presentation was made to Mesdames Denny and R. Eager, who are leaving Greytown.
