Success owed to members
By Helen Owen
The last meeting of the year of Bayfield
Garden Club was held in the Municipal
Building on Nov, 12. It proved to be one of
the most popular and offered members a
unique opportunity to review their
activities.
The presentation of slides by George
Chapman, Ernie Hovey and Alex McAlister
highlighted interesting facts about the
garden club.
Undoubtedly the first was that the
membership was fortunate in having such
expert photographers, whose' techniques
encompass artistic presentation, as well as
humor and style as well as an appreciation
of a sense of occasion.
The second point demonstrated was the
tremendous sense of community as
illustrated by the volunteer work on Mara
Street Wild Flower Sanctuary, the triangle
and library tubs, and the Bicentennial
project, - the planting of trees on Howard
Street. This type of contribution to the
,village has become an intrinsic part of club
ppoticy since its inception, and the pictures
shown indicated the physical effort required
of members in achieving their objectives.
The third factor,apparent in all areas of
activity, was the expertise of the members
in the care of their gardens and plants, and
their increasing knowledge of a wide variety,
of shrubs and blooms, as further
demonstrated by the entries at the
Agricultural Fair.
Last, but in no way least, candid camera
shots revealed, with humor and affection, a
portrayal of member participation. Nothing
could portray the sincerity and dedication of
the members more realistically than the
slide presentation - it is a gift for posterity.
Lucky winners of prizes in the draw were:
Mr. Gordon Graham, Clivia; Mrs. Marg
McHolm, Paper Whites and Mrs. Helen
Owen, Amaryllis.
Membership continues to increase and
whatever the project, the enthusiasm and
support of the members is never lacking,
and it is also a tribute to the club that the
Village appreciates their volunteer efforts
and ever widening endeavours to embrace
all areas of horticultural development.
The next meeting wil be the annual
general meeting to be held on January 14 at
2 p.m. in the Municipal Building. New
members are welcomed to this thriving,
active and stimulating group.

Newcomers to town are Charles and Sari
Machen, who with their small daughters
Maia, aged 41/2 and Kyra, six months have
taken up residence in their home on Main
Street. They have been visiting Bayfield for
•
some years, guests ototheir friends Arlene tim
and Jan Kok. We are well aware of how the
charm, of our village affects visitors and the
Machens succumbed like so many others.
They have lived in Toronto for the last seven
years, but came to Canada, originally Sari
from Johannesburg, South Africa add
Charles from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.!
Sari is pretty busy these days with Maia and
Kyra but retains a keen interest in the book
world as she was formerly working in
bookstores. Charles is a "display designer
professionally. While an art student at
college in . Rotterdam, he specialized in
photography and so is well prepared to
embark on a project which will be great fun
for us all and for him.
The little building, which has been
occupied by the treasure tree, is to become a
photography studio, but one with a
difference. Here you will be able to have
your picture taken , in vintage style, yes
really any vintage and the studio will have'
appropriate clothes to place you back in
A professional costume designer Heather
Anderson will be coming in the Christmas
holidaysto help create clothes of other eras.
How appropriate to pose. in a gay nineties
outfit as a souvenir of a visit to Bayfield's

They are charming people, a real addition
to our town, say.hello when you meet them.

Bazaar a great success
The Trinity Ladies' Guild Bazaar was an
overwhelming success. Beautifully
arranged as always the ladies excelled
themselves with the good things offered for
sale and the pleasant ten hours.
As the saying used to go "All our best
people were there". Congratulations on a
very happy affair.
Agricultural Society invites members to supper
By Doris Hunter
The Bayfield Agricultural Society, as is its
custom is jumping the gun on that spate of
annual meetings, we all live through in the
wintry month of January.
Thursday, November 22 all members are
invited to attend their annual potluck supper
in "the Municipal Building at 6:30 p.m. The
business agenda will'eommence at8 pan.
Fourteen members of the Bayfield Society
attended the Huron -Perth meeting at which
the Exeter group were hosts. Mr. Michael
O'Shea, who has been named Ontario's
Young Farmer of the Year was the guest
speaker.
There are. 15 'fair boards entered in the
District 8 Ontario Association of
Agricultural Societies, and although the
Howick Society won the Ken Reaney
Memorial Plaque for best attendance,
Bayfield was well represented by Audrey
and. Gord Graham, George and Doris
Wilson, Jim and Emma Cox, Afra Van
Wonderen, Ethel Yeo, Jean Dunne, Doris
Schilbe, Elsie Reder, Marion ,Graham,
Carol Penhale and Kathleen Siertsema.
It is a well-known fact that anyone who
becomes treasurer of an organization, turns
into a veritable scrooge on its behalf. The
Fair Board's efficient secretary -treasurer
- Audrey Graham, must have suffered agony
at parting with enough money, after much
consultation to buy a .second hand
calculator, for her work. No longer will she
have to rely on her fingers and toes for all
the arithmetic involved in Fair Board
activities. The members of course feel that
with this a•id to her work, she will want to
continue for years to come as secretary -
treasurer.
