Laurel Bank members enjoy an afternoon on the lawn

Members and friends of the Laurel Bank Croquet Club spent a pleasant time on the lawn on Monday afternoon with croquet and nail driving competitions. A cake and fancy stall did good business. Afternoon tea was served in the club house. The effective table decorations were lavender scabiosa in crystal bowls. The walls were decorated beautifully with other flowers. During the afternoon the Mayoress (Mrs. J. D. Annand), who presented the trophies, was given a beautiful bouquet of carnations by the vice-president, Mrs. J. Platz. Results of the year's tournaments were.—Championship: Mrs. P. S. Priest; runner-up, Mrs. L. Dunsdon. Novice handicap: Mrs. W. Frood; runner-up, Mrs. S. M. Hopkins. Singles handicap: Mrs. P. S. Priest; runner-up, Mrs. S. M. Hopkins. C grade handicap: Mrs. W. Fox.
