Dahlia Show

In spite of the very inclement weather of last week, the Annual Presbyterian Dahlia Show was a very successful function and the church funds will benefit substantially.

The show was opened by Mrs Welch, wife of the Rector of St Thomas' Anglican Church, Port Macquarie, who congratulated the members of the Presbyterian Women's Association, organisers of the function, and especially Dr McLaren who was responsible for gathering and displaying the beautiful array of exhibition blooms.

In the Decorative Section many interesting arrangements were shown and the judge, Mrs Hewens, had difficulty deciding the winners.

Dog Obedience School

Mrs Barbara Grollmus started a dog obedience school last Sunday in the park above Oxley Oval in Port Macquarie.

Mrs Grollmus said last week the main idea of the school is to train the dogs to be good companions, not to do tricks. She said dogs had to be over six months old but can be up to any age.

Mrs Grollmus hopes to start an All-Breeds Kennel Club for registered dogs in the town, so that an annual show can be arranged in the near future.

Gold Coast honeymoon

Mr and Mrs Neil Buttsworth were married in St Thomas' Church of England, Port Macquarie, on Saturday, February 18.

The bride was attended by Dianne Buttsworth and Cheryl McKinnon. The best man was Brian Munday, and groomsman was Phillip Morton.

The reception was held at the Surf Club Pavilion. Following a honeymoon on the Gold Coast the couple will make their home on the North Shore.
