Dalby croquet players visit Laurel Bank

Monday was a gala day for the members of the Laurel Bank Croquet Club. Eight members of the Dalby Croquet Club accepted the invitation to a day's play on the lawns at Laurel Bank. In spite of the cold westerly winds the play was very enjoyable and some good croquet resulted. Luncheon and afternoon tea were served by the members in the new club house.

In the absence of the president (Mrs. M. Sinclair), Mrs. Platz (vice-president) welcomed the guests. Mrs. White (president of the Dalby Croquet Club) responded. She thanked the members for their kind invitation and expressed appreciation for the manner in which they had been entertained. She invited the Laurel Bank members to pay a return visit to Dalby at an early date.

The following were the results of play:—

Mesdames Wilson and Coutts (D.) 26

Mesdames Childs and Platz (T.) 23

Mesdames Frood and Dennis (T.) 20

Mesdames Addison and Smoothy (D.) 19

Mesdames White and Quirk (D.) 26

Mesdames Dunsdon and Scanlan (T.) 20
