STILL on Chloe she ran into a few problems while returning home from a ‘Tupperware’ meeting in Inverell recently. Travelling with neighbour Ash Morris, somehow the pair took a wrong turn and ended up in Glen Innes. Maybe a GPS navigation system may be the way to go girls.

FOR quite a number of years our family always celebrated the birthday of my sister Tracey Crisp on April 29. That was until Tracey found an original birth certificate, which stated she was actually born on April 28. Certainly didn’t worry ‘Tracky’ too much she now has a party for two days but the rest of us still stick to the 29th. Hope you had a great 50th last week Trace.

APPARENTLY during the recent school holidays Gordon Strong and Iziah Bray were assisting ‘Tarwonga’ mayor David Fletcher with a few chores around the place. At one stage while Gordon was opening a gate Davie couldn’t get the work vehicle to go forward or reverse. When Gordon enquired into what the problem was Dave didn’t have any answers but Iziah did. Dave had his foot on the brake not the clutch.

FORMER English wrestler Mal Ballard became very excited when his mystery trifecta numbers came up at the Commercial Hotel on Tuesday afternoon.
