In the 400-metre, Kia again came firat and Amnber Eieenhut sixth. The latter again was fourth in the 8O-metre mun behind Christina Weber, third. Last but not least, our Trafalgar teamn came firet in the 4x200 relay: Kcia, Yvonne, Christina and Asha whipped the competition with a spectacular finish. And don't you thinkit's an easy job.

They performed Snoopy over three nights and offered a matines to local chudren from Kathleen Rowe and Palmerston schools on April 18. It was a spirited and tencéhing musical with wonderful, memerable songs such as The World According to Snoopy, Don't Re Anthing Leas Than You Can Be, Poor Swe-et Baby and, my own favourite, Charlie Brown's tender tributs te his pup, Where Did 77te Little Dog Go. There were stellar performances by Angela Min, endearing in her role as the big-hearted Peppermint Patty, Sharon Schroeter as the blanket-toting, egocentric Linus, Heather Davison as the wondering and wistful Charlie Brown, Kelsey Benning was beguiing as Sally, Roxanne Christian as; Lucy and Chiara Campitelli as Snoopy's constant friend, Woodstock, al supported Rachel Tan who brought the familiar Snoopy te life right in front of our eyes. Did you remember te plant a tres on Monday? April 22 was Earth Day and we gave it the ful Trafalgar treatment.
