In brief
WHILE Sydney and the Mid North Coast were pummelled with rain this week, the Northern Tablelands missed most of the action.
Despite storm clouds looming on Saturday, less than a millimetre of rain was recorded in Armidale. The city’s monthly rainfall tally is 37mm, behind Uralla and Guyra with 54mm. Further north, 73mm has fallen in Glen Innes.

Strings showcase
PLC Armidale will showcase its many students involved in the strings program next Tuesday.
Under the tuition of Deidre Rickards, the senior and junior strings will perform a huge repertoire on the night.
Half of the funds from the annual evening will be donated to the NSW Bushfire Appeal.
Parliament tour
STUDENTS from the New England Girls’ School visited NSW Parliament House on Monday as part of a Sydney excursion.
