Laurel Bank Croquet Club holds its Christmas party

The Laurel Bank Croquet Club, of which Mrs. P. Priest is president, and Mrs. Hopkins, honorary secretary, held their annual Christmas party at the club house on Saturday afternoon. Tea was served at a long table beautified with shallow bowls of carnations and roses, in the centre of which was a decorated Christmas cake, donated by Mrs. J. Platz. As the result of a competition the cake was won by Mrs. Warrian. A tournament resulted in Mesdames P. Priest and Dennis winning trophies presented by Mesdames J. Platz and L. Dunsdon. Prizes were also given by Mesdames Fett and Hopkins.
