The list of foundation members, which totalled 53, was closed at the monthly meeting of the executive committee of the Dalby Ladies' Croquet Club, which was held in the School of Arts rest room on Tuesday afternoon. It was decided that for those who intend joining the club in future, the subscription fee would be £2/2/.

There were present Mesdames W. J. Vowles (president), R. J. Rust (secretary), R. B. Gillespie (treasurer), C. Thompson (vice-president), E. S. Coutts, W. Hoffman, G. Singleton, and W. Thomas. Apologies were received from Mesdames W. H. Coulson, J. D. Allen, W. J. Quirk and J. B. McLean.

The treasurer's financial statement revealed a satisfactory position.

It was decided to hold the bridge night which was arranged for August 4th but which was postponed because of the inclement weather prevailing during that day, on August 28th, in the bowling clubhouse.
