The past week brought very pleasant weather following heavy rains. Crops are reported growing nicely and feed will benefit from the conditions. Mr. Clarkson praised Mr. Wroth for free secretarial services over the past year as the meeting’s chairman acknowledged the work. A programme for the annual meeting was set with several races and handicaps listed.
A social evening at Calingiri Hall celebrated Rev Prior Selenes of New Norcia as he heads to Drysdale Mission Station in the North of Western Australia to relieve Father Altmire after seven years. The event featured toasts and the presentation of a valuable serenioring, with remarks on his judgement and ability. The Western road near Calingiri Station is in poor condition and calls for maintenance by authorities.
The Toodyay Race Club held its annual meeting at Fremassons Hotel with fair attendance. Plans include holding races on October 6 and applying for further dates in 1921, leasing racecourse interiors for cropping, and erecting new fencing around the jockeys room and judges box to improve access. Officers elected include Patron Hon W Hamersley President B L Clarkson and Secretary H M Wroth.
In favorable weather at Bolgart on Sunday Calingiri fielded their best side this season with eight players short of Nungle, who won 8 points. Scorers included Donegan and Richards for Nungle and Judge Dea O Connor for Calingiri, with umpire W Donegan praised for firm officiating.
One of Toodyay’s biggest days unfolds next Wednesday with a grand procession from the Post Office at 2 pm led by the Firs Brigade Band. On the ground there will be a fancy dress football match, a postwar style peach of a game, stalls, and afternoon tea promising a record crowd. At night the Toodyay Amateur Players perform two plays followed by Miss Rose Atkinson in vocal items and the Toodyay Quartette, then a dance with refreshments available for 6d.
