Anne Hutchinson, following her success in Geelong in October 2017, and being encouraged by avid Stamp col-lectors, entered the Biennial Exhibition in Canberra re-cently and came home, again, with an award. Anne said, “After 3 days there I never got to see all the exhibits. "Every frame has 16 pages on it, and 322 frames were exhibited. Exhibiting there was quite an honour and a real learning curve. I learned that you are not so much competing against the others, though there is a lot of friendly rivalry, but you are really aiming to improve your exhibit by listening to the judges’ comments, looking at how others have displayed their stamps and covers and asking lots of questions, and then having another go. The judges mark your exhibit according to a number of areas such as information, rarity, condition, appeal and how it all flows to make an interesting display. Marks be-tween 64 and 69 get the Large Silver. Medals are divided into different categories: Gold, Large Vermeil, Vermeil, Large Silver, Silver, Bronze, Merit and Participation. Ver-meil is a gold plated silver award. I was delighted to re-ceive the Large Silver with a score of 69. I was told I needed to expand my presentation to at least 3 frames and to include more information.” Well done Anne. It is hoped in the near future that her exhibit will be on display at the Business Centre, so pop in and have a look. Photo… Anne admiring her award

INTERNATIONALS STOP TO REVIVE
Lockington Lions Club volunteers offered free coffee, tea and snacks over the Easter break to encourage drivers to stop, rest and refresh, in an effort to ensure they arrive safely at their destination. On Thursday, March 29 a car carrying 4 people from 4 different countries (please refer to the photo), on their way to Moulamein to the ‘Confest’, pulled up for refreshments and went on their way having learned more about our little community, and of course with a ‘Locky News’ in hand.
In the last 12 months VICSES volunteers report they have responded to more than 1300 road rescues across the state, and say, ‘We would much rather serve you a cup of tea, than cut you out of a car.’
Photo 1 (left to right): Eyal of Israel, Didi from Holland, Max of Germany, and South Korean Kim met each other when grape picking at Tumbarumba. They visited Melbourne before stopping in Lockington en route for Moulamein. Photo 2 left to right: Neil Haines, ‘Jack’ Oliver, Phil Collins.

Have you ever found an item in a garage sale that you purchased because it intrigued you and you wondered about it's past? Over the
last few months I have been drawn to novels that the central part of the story is about an item and its secrets, its stories and the impact it has had on past owners and the person who now has it in their keeping. Precious Things by Kelly Doust is an exceptional example of historical fiction. It explores the story of an embroidered collar that is set on its way in Nor-mandy France in 1891 and is then passed on through the next century to various people and places, from Shanghai and Ma-laya, until it finds its place in a box in an auction lot in Syd-ney. Maggie the auctioneer is drawn to the sparkly beady coronet and takes it upon herself to find out more about its past and in doing so it takes her on a path of discovering more about herself in the process. A terrific novel which was actu-ally published in 2016 but this type of historical novel is be-coming very popular. Other similar ones of interest are The Naturalist's Daughter by Tea Cooper, Last Painting of Sara De Vos by Dominic Smith, and am just starting on newly released The Portrait of Molly Dean by Katherine Kovacic which focus-ses on a painting and its role in a past murder. Nothing like a bit of intrigue and some great research to make for a terrific read. Jenny Mustey Library Services Manager Campaspe Regional Library

Page 12 The Kotta Hall is the venue for the next production of a play by Hugh O’Brien titled “Farmer will swap combine harvester for wife”
This is the second production by the B-BAC players from Boort, Buckrabunyule and Charlton. They rehearse in the 108 year old Buckrabunyule Hall.
Hugh O’Brien has written plays for small country organisations which are simple, short and fairly easy to perform. This play has one set only and seven scenes. The purpose of Hugh’s writing is to help little country communities with some entertainment. From Queensland, Hugh O’Brien has had a career as a speech writer and playwright.
This play has different facets from comedy to very serious con-temporary issues and is not suitable for children under 15years. It is suggested that children could patronise the film night being held at the Heritage Centre in Lockington on the same night.
When 59-year-old bachelor farmer Cyril Evans runs a personal ad in Queensland Country Life offering to swap his reconditioned John Deere 9750 STS combine harvester in return for a wife of breeding age – all hell breaks loose!
A fourth-generation grain and beef producer, Cyril Evans prom-ised his father he would never sell the family property Evans-wood. But life didn’t quite go as planned for the likeable Cyril. Due to a sad misunderstanding 33 years ago, his marriage to the love-ly Delmay Maydel was called off the night before the wedding.
In quick time, a bevy of people appear on his doorstep. They in-clude the beautiful young Skye Weston, who has been driving and fixing headers since she was 12; Cyril’s jilted fiancée from 33 years ago, Delmay June Maydel; Cyril’s neighbour Gus Bell, who has his own secret agenda; a sexy mystery woman Roxanne?Roxfox? Foxton; and a well-mannered young grazier Doug Din-nington.
Cyril’s newspaper ad starts a chain of events with both comical and serious repercussions.

LOCKINGTON BOWLS CLUB
Report March 26: The club conducted a successful Echuca Toyota Open Fours tournament on Sunday attracting visitors from Calivil, South Bendi-
go, City of Echuca, Moama, Rich River, Mathoura, Rochester, Dingee, Lake Boga, Stanhope plus several local members. At the completion of the four games of ten ends the adopted Points system revealed the Calivil rink comprising Keith Richards, Graham Maxted, Barry Meighan and Allan Leech (s) being the winners on 93 points - (3 wins and a tie). In second place was the team from Lake Boga with Noel Hender, Brandon Paley, Peter Philp and Rod Wickham (s) scoring 82 points. Third place went to the Ken Main rink of Kalvin Stout, Phillip Cunnington, Bill Musgrove on 81 points with the Mathoura four in Barry Ireland, Pam Limbrick, Stan Limbrick and Lindsay Vallance (s) 79 points - (2 wins and 2 ties) in fourth place. City of Echuca bowler Philip Thorn thanked the ladies on behalf of all the bowlers, for presenting a delightful lunch and afternoon tea. Club President Tom Davis acknowledged the effort from Greens-keeper Ian Johnson in the presentation of the immaculate greens. Davis also thanked Tournament Secretary Chris Stewart for organizing the field of such high quality bowlers on the day. Special prize winners included Barry 'Whopper" Williams (major), Allan Crilly, Bob Pratt and Bill Musgrove. The women did not play social bowls last week due to several women attending the Country week carnival at Geelong in which a couple of women excelled. In the club competitions the 100 Up is nearing completion. Bill Musgrove defeated Russell Shawcross and Kalvin Stout won a close game against Ray Hanson. Musgrove played Don Isgro for a place in the final. Isgro was in outstanding form to defeat Musgrove in a high standard game. Geoff Shawcross upset Tom Davis to record a con-vincing win. The 21 Up Presidents trophy has reached an interesting stage. Ray Hanson defeated Neil Haines, An-drew Harris turned the tables on Graeme Turner to pro-gress to the next round while Ken Main defeated Russell Shawcross. Tom Davis is to play Stout with the winner to meet Isgro in the next round. The Friday evening practice /barbeque was again well attended with Secretary Neil Haines winning the lucky members draw. Due to Good Friday this week, there will be no barbeque. Report March 31: At the weekly social bowls on Tuesday, the women played Triples in excellent conditions. The winning trio was Joy Weller, Lorrane Appleby and Betty Mustey (s). In the 100 Up championship for the women, Leanne McIn-nes defeated Annette Brereton in the semi-final and will now meet Lorraine Appleby in the final. The mens' 100 Up championship has reached the final stage with Don Isgro to play Kalvin Stout. Stout gained a berth after elimi-nating John van den Bosch in the semi-final. The 21 Up Presidents trophy is almost finished. Ray Hanson defeat-ed Andrew Harris in a semi-final and will now play off in the final. The other half of the draw is a little behind as Tom Davis has to play Kalvin Stout with the winner to meet Isgro. The eventual winner will meet Ken Main in the semi-final.
Birthday wishes to Margaret Davis on celebrating an 80th occasion while Madge Cunnington turned 95 years recently. The women will hold the annual Ladies Medley Fours on Tuesday 17th April commencing at 10.00am. Contact Kath Palmer 5486 2314 for entries.

Good bowling to the CVBD representatives in the BowlsVic Midweek Regional Sides championship to be played at Murray Downs Country Club on Friday 6th - 8th April. COUNTRY BOWLS CARNIVAL GEELONG Campaspe Valley Bowls Division was well represented at the recent Women’s Country Bowls Carnival held in Geelong. Congratulations to all the players for their efforts. The conditions were trying to say the least, the bowls was interesting, and the socialising was exceptional. Left to Right: Anne Williams Elmore and Pauline Humbert Lockington who reached the round of 16 in the pairs of the Country Carnival played at Belmont. Report April 9: The women displayed some all-round talent at the Social bowls on Tuesday. The name of the game was Classic Pairs in which Anne Lowrie and Phylis MacFarlane (s) combined brilliantly to win the accolades on the day. Daylight was second. During the week Tom Davis and Kalvin Stout played a second round of the 100 Up competition. Davis held the early ascendency before Stout rolled out the mat to win consecutive ends and had the ability to draw a close bowl to thwart his opponent on countless occasions to gain a berth in the quarter final where he will meet Don Isgro. The winner to play Ken Main in a semi-final. Ray Hanson is waiting to play the final. (continued next page)

LOCKINGTON GOLF CLUB
REPORT: April 8 The 2018 Lockington Golf Club season kicked off on Saturday with a 4-person am-
brose event. Golfers enjoyed a terrific day, with glorious weather and the course in good nick thanks to the huge effort put in by the members who have worked on the course. The delicious afternoon tea was the perfect way to finish the day. It was the biggest Opening Day field in many years, and it was great to have the day supported by visitors from Mitiamo and Rochester. It was also really pleasing to see Justin Hughes and Andrew Galatte having a hit and enjoying the day. The winning team consisted of 3 Rochester golfers – Lee Hicks, Jake Wright and Brad Major – who combined with Grant Hum-
bert to return a brilliant 56-3.5-52.5. Their putting was a high-light, with only 20 putts required for the round. Runners-up were Ian Maddison, Terry Thomas, Stuart Newton, James Hodgens and Tim Staley with a super 60-7.1-52.9. Next best were Rick and Kathy Connors, Bruce Haines and Andrew Galatte with a fine 67-11-56. Long drive 15th – Annette Brereton, Jake Wright. Nearest the pins: 3rd – Jayden Wright, 7th – Kathy Connors, 16th – Andrew Galatte, 17th – Kathy Connors, 2nd shot 18th for the 6-pack smack – Nug Lister (Rich River).

LOCKINGTON BOWLS CLUB REPORT (continued) The final of the 21 Up Presidents trophy was held on Thursday afternoon between Don Isgro and Kalvin Stout. The final provid-ed several highlights as both bowlers were on song. Shots were traded over several ends before Isgro gained the break to win the title 21-16 in a very high standard display from both bowlers. The women will hold the annual Medley Fours tournament on Tuesday 17th April commencing at 10.00am. Contact Kath Palmer 5486 2314 for entries. The Friday evening practice / barbeque attracted a good crowd of members with Chris Stewart winning the members draw again!
Congratulations to the Bendigo/Campaspe Region women on competing in the BowlsVic Region Sides championship held at the Murray Downs Golf & Country Club over the week-end. The team won the majority of games including a tie with Murray Mallee in the final game. However this was not enough to fea-ture in the play-offs. The overall result was a victory to Geelong defeating Sandbelt in the final. The Geelong squad included former City of Echuca bowler Veronica Kelly. The Bendigo - Campaspe Challenge trophy will be contested on Thursday at the Rochester Bowls Club starting at 9.30am. A great opportunity to witness some fine bowling in this annual grudge match.

Those who do not clean up after an animal in their care, can be issued with an on-the-spot fine of $300.
