Re weighing Wool in NSW Aim for Equal Buyer Seller Rights
NSW Farmers and Settlers Association seeks equal re weighing rights for buyers and sellers of wool after a Manilla branch resolution. The move follows weight variations due to moisture in storage and aims to have the Woolselling Brokers Association amend rules governing NSW auction sales. The Manilla branch also notes buyers may request re weighing when wool seems light. grazers argue the right should also cover weight gains. The Manilla Pipe Band Fourth Annual Ball at Memorial Hall drew 350 to 400 attendees, with performances by Manilla Tamworth pipe bands, a street march, dances, Scottish dancing, a buffet supper, and MC John Dickson.
