The Lawrence Hall will celebrate its 125th anniversary on Saturday June 3, with a huge array of displays and entertainment.
The celebrations at the hall will commence at 11am and finish at 4.30pm.
An official ceremony will take place at 1pm and will be attended by Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan, State Member for Clarence Chris Gulaptis and Clarence Valley mayor Jim Simmons.
The cutting of the 125th birthday cake will take place at 3pm.
Event organiser Lorna Reeves said there would be a large display of memorabilia from bygone years, set up in the hall.
“Representatives from several organisations will also be attending,” Mrs Reeves said.
“The RSL will be here [to acknowledge the honour rolls which are housed in the hall], Westpac Bank who used to have a Bank of NSW agency in the hall and Sunshine Sugar will have a display on the cane industry.
“We will also have a ‘reading room’ set up. Years ago the papers used to come to Lawrence by riverboat and people would come to the hall to read them.
“Entertainment will be provided throughout the day by the over 50’s musical group ‘The Tempomentals’ and the line dancers will also have a display.”
“Ross Macleod from The Garden Shed, will have bells and saddles on display and there will be a book launch on the history of the Lawrence Hall.”
Other displays and groups will include: The Lawrence Museum, Bluff Point Quilters, vintage cars and bikes, Lawrence area over 50’s group, the Lawrence school and pre-school, SES and Fire Brigade, the churches of Lawrence, mobile library, the Hearing Australia bus, old farm machinery, the First Fleeters group and an old wooden boat.
A barbecue lunch will be available along with tea, coffee and cakes inside the hall.
Children’s entertainment will include a jumping castle and face painting.
WE LOVE LAWRENCE
It’s the things we often take for granted that make a small village like Lawrence so special.
From the sense of community to the beautiful country atmosphere and scenery you can enjoy just driving around the area.
And let’s not forget the iconic Lawrence ferry, photographed by many a tourist. Sure, when your running late it can be a pain in the bum but I find it a great time to catch up on my facebook page or to just enjoy 5 minutes of downtime.
Then there’s the obvious advantages of being handy to both Maclean and Grafton. But really you don’t have too venture too far to get what you need as the township itself has so much to offer. With a general store that caters for a lot of your needs, a tavern that is renowned for its great meals, a post office, police station, primary and pre-school, public boat ramp and jetty, golf course plus it’s very own Real Estate office.
One of the things we have loved most about working in Lawrence, is the familiar faces and the fact that you are often greeted with a friendly smile.
So whether you are looking to buy, sell or rent, if we can be of assistance call Maclean Local Real Estate or pop into either of our offices in Maclean PH: 6645 3433 or Lawrence PH: 6647 7113. Latest News
