• Notes

  Dawn 7(12) 1958 : 10 h committee has been formed at Cowra to organise functions with a view to raising money for the Children's Christmas party. Mrs. S. Smith, Mrs. J. Bamblett, Mrs. J. Mosely and Miss Olive McGuinness really put their hearts into the first function, a supper dance held on the 28th October. The few doubts held earlier as to its success were quickly dispelled when the residents started to roll up. As this was the first organised function for some time there was a fear that the people might have forgotten how to dance but this was found incorrect as soon as the music started. An old identity from out west supplied this necessary requirement, Paddy Black, who hails from Murrin Bridge and just happened to call at Cowra for a look. It seems Paddy can keep playing that accordion all night if the cause is good. He was ably assisted at times by Froggie Simpson, and Lochie Ingram on their " leafs ". Doc Simpson presided at the door and, with his well-known tact, rxtracted the dues. The Manager and Matron attendcd for a time, Mr. Yates extending his compliments to all present, on thc organisation and behaviour shown. Before leaving, the Matron, Mrs. Yates judged the prize dance, which was won by Ike Williams and Mrs. Phillip Ingram. Next day the general feeling was that the opening night had been an auspicious success and with the committee working on plans for such things as barbecue dances, fancy dress for children, etc., etc., the future for entertainment at Cowra Station looks very bright.
