Commission Work
Inside, three of our lady members, donned gloves and
scouring pads, removed all drinking cups from the
Tea Room walls washed the walls and every cup. The
kitchen cupboards received a similar work-out by the
ladies.
uring a committee meeting last year, it was decided that members who are interested or prepared to make items for the public, should register
their names so that any inquiries received at Southern
Region can be directed to interested members.
