President's Day and prizes at the croquet club

Saturday was President's Day at the Toowoomba Croquet Club. The retiring president (Mrs. Boyce) entertained members and their friends at afternoon tea on the club grounds, and presented the various tournament prizes won during the year. The recipients were Mrs. Stanley Hobson, who was again victorious in the Club Championship; Mrs. Rowe, who won the Single Handicap; and Mesdames Boyce and Webb, who annexed the Doubles. In addition to these, trophies were given for three croquet competitions organised during the afternoon, the winners being Mesdames Hobson, Rowe and Booth.

Before departing, Mrs. F. Webb, the new president, on behalf of the club thanked Mrs. Boyce for the enjoyable afternoon, and paid a tribute to the excellent work done by her as president of the club; also taking the opportunity of wishing her bon voyage, a safe return, and assured her of a welcome back to the Toowoomba Croquet Club on her return from her contemplated trip to England.

Mrs. Boyce thanked Mrs. Webb for her kindly references, and wished the club much success during the year just entered upon.
