Meatworks NAW Deal For The West Discussed

The meeting of Meatworks members discussed forming a quorum for a general discussion and proposed amendments. B J Rayment and J Shipp were appointed to draft a poll plan while E Tooth moved to have three members form a quorum. The proposal evolved to five members, with approval to align with the Aramac branch and involve state and federal parliament members in Queensland matters.

Great Improvement Shed at Jundah Racecourse

Officials of the Jundah Amateur Race Club erected a new shed at the Jundah racecourse aiding the recent meet. Constructed with upright cydla poles and thatched with spinifex, it stemmed from the efforts of H Eaton and A L Armstrong, assisted by J Weston R P Bullen J Richards and J McIntyre. Patrons greatly appreciated the shade during the intense afternoon heat as the crowd watched the racing in comfort.
