President opens two new lawns at Toowoomba Croquet Club

Mrs. Frank Webb, president of the Toowoomba Croquet Club, yesterday afternoon officially opened the two new lawns recently laid down by the committee. Ideal spring weather prevailed, and a very large gathering was present. Tea was served at a long table in the clubhouse, which was gaily decorated with flags, Iceland poppies in large bronze bowls, and pale pink sweetpeas. Mrs. Webb later presented the trophies won during the year, Mrs. Isaacs winning the singles handicap, Mesdames Perkins and E. Rowe the doubles handicap, and Mrs. Noel Hooper the novice handicap. The secretary, Mrs. O. Booth, later presented Mrs. Webb with a beautiful bouquet of perennial peas, tied with pink and mauve tulle streamers.
