Before entering the main hall, visitors noted a candy table, a penny draw and the end of the room was occupied by 2 men who worked with wood, creating toys or carved birds and fish. Inside the big room was a beautiful display of quilts. The 2 cross stitch patterns done by Mrs. Elsie Poque demonstrated hours of patient labour, by herself. The demonstrators required one side of the room with finish- ed items of their colourful work. . Bonnie's Boutique required one end of the room to display the sale of variety crafts. Pat Fulcher and Doreen Adam are very proficient in displaying and selling items on the flea table.

Those who won the entry draws were Dorothy Martyn (the first president of the '"Head" U.C.W.), Rita McAfee, Sharen Bobbie, Nor- ma lley, Irene Carter, Ruby Slute; Pat McGhee, Bonnie Ger- row and Doreen Adam.
