Plunket Mothers Celebrate

To celebrate the 12th birthday of their organisation, members of the Stoke Plunket Mothers Club turned out in force for a social evening last month. For entertainment, members were offered a mixed bag of musical and humorous items, and in some of the acts it was obvious that much time and thought had gone into the preparation. We hope (as the only male present) we didn't cramp your style, girls).

"Flowers in Our Garden", in which members dressed in the garb of the flowers they represented, was very well presented and very colourful.

A choral group comprising Marilyn Powell, Julie McKendry, Doreen Bateup, Anne Jones and Jan Morriss, explained in song the names of the flowers.

Cutting the birthday cake. Marilyn Powell (president), Sisters Ruby Pierson, Hazel Arnold and Wanaka Gibson.

Hanky panky (Marie Campbell lost them), and the astonishment of Bev Gardiner, Jan Gardiner and Pam Brockie.

The moral of this little scene was: "Don't gossip in front of strangers" and featured Julie McKendry, Helen Le Cren and Margaret Newton.

Winter draws on for Anne Rains and Wendy Scott, much to the amusement of Jan Miller.
