Conferences would not be much fun if there were no items. Here the Stoke group performs a hilarious version of "Knees Up, Mother Brown"
Nicola Grainger was the accompanist for soloist Merle Gibson
The Moutere branch performed a tableau titled "The Gulf"
One of the funniest items was performed by the Richmond group. Their sketch was in a Chinese cafe! From left, Primrose McFarlane, Hilda Clements, Gwen King (the waiter) and Norma Harris. You can never tell what you're eating
