Subscriber only Kelvin and Margaret Maloney of Kenilworth Brahmans have been coming to the Big Country Brahman Sale in Charters Towers since it was established in 1994. Mrs Maloney says that during that time she has been watching a number of good bloodlines, including the Signature bloodline, which featured in the grey bull Gracemere Play Boy at Tuesday s sale. The quality of the bull was enough to convince the Maloneys to take the bidding to $130,000, the top priced bull of the sale. Gracemere Play Boy owners Gary and Katrina Lynch were delighted with the price they obtained for the grey stud bull.
Well this week, we can shine in the light on another long departed picture house. The Premier Cinema in Latchford had room for more than 400 people and was open for almost four decades. Tommy Swift, from Houghton Green, wrote in with his memories of the luxury he remembers from the venue. He added: With regards to your feature on Warrington cinemas I d like to say that the Premier at Powell Street wasn t far behind the Empire for luxury. In the 1930s St Augustine s held there services there before the church was built. My memories growing up in the late 1940s and early 1950s was attending the Premier quite often.
