VISITING FROM BATHURST: Former Grenfellite Janine Graham paid a visit to Grenfell last weekend to catch up with family and friends.

Janine together with Debbie Williamson and Julian and Janelle Harris had a relaxing evening at Fettler’s Restaurant.

DODGE BROS CAR RALLY:  When the Dodge Bros Car rally hit town last Monday, they enjoyed a fabulous morning tea supplied by the Grenfell Lions Club at the Railway Station.

As they were all about to depart one of the visitors told me that her father was born in Grenfell. When I asked what family name she replied “Harveyson – my dad was Arthur”.

Standing right next to her was Lion Rod Harveyson and it turned out that his father Tom and Arthur were brothers.

 Jeanette Harmer from Young and her sister Narelle Barrett (nee Harveyson) from Kincumber on the Central Coast were having a wonderful time on the rally.

Jeanette’s husband Col was one of the organisers of the rally.
