Speaking this morning, an official of the Dalby Croquet Club stated that the lawns would be available for play at the week-end, commencing at 2 o'clock tomorrow, and it was hoped that there would be a large attendance of players so that competition matches could be played. It was stated that it was about five weeks since the club had been able to play, and in that time the lawns had been covered by the flood. They had responded well, and enjoyable games could be anticipated at the week-end.
