Myrtle Mott and Bill Hegarty in the Thread Needle Race at Kitchen’s Annual Picnic.

My Father, Bill Hegarty, along with the Mott sisters, Myrtle, Ida and Alice who married Bill, were all employed by Kitchen & Sons.

This picture was taken at one of Kitchen’s annual outings, a picnic at Frankston.

Here Bill is teamed with my Auntie Myrtle, dressed in their Sunday best, competing in a thread the needle race.

The caption reads:

“In this delicate operation the race is neither to the swift nor to the strong.”
