Country women meet in Tarlee

This 1946 notice appears to be the first mention in the newspapers of  a C.W.A. meeting in Tarlee. The branch had only been recently formed.


The monthly meeting of the Tarlee Branch of the C.W.A., held in the institute on Thursday, March 28, took the form of a social afternoon. The president (Mrs. E. O. Vogt) presided, and welcomed guest speakers, Mrs. Tennant and Mrs. Boothby, and also members of the Riverton and Saddleworth branches. Mrs. Tennant gave an excellent outline of C.W.A. work and activities, and wished our newly formed branch every success. Mrs. Boothby gave a short outline on the handicraft section of C.W.A. work. The presidents of Saddleworth and Riverton branches wished Tarlee branch every success. Items were rendered by Mrs. M. Vandeleur and Miss Joan Arthur. Afternoon tea was served, and a trading table in charge of Mesdames F. Dodd, J. O. Tayler and L. J. W. Tayler did very brisk business. 

Following on from this report was a report of a scoial evening held in the Institute to farewell the Smyths, Frank and his daughter Mary who were leaving the district.
