Third monthly card evening at the Bowling pavilion

Mesdames C. Fortescue, Ronald Rivett, Duncan Thompson and Keys acted as hostesses, and there was a large attendance. The main portion of the pavilion, where bridge tables were arranged, was artistically decorated with royal blue and pale blue streamers (the club colours), which formed a canopy overhead, and festooned the walls, and clusters of balloons added a bright finish. The lower room, which was set aside for Mah Jongg players, was decorated with bunting and balloons, and bowls of flowers. Noticed among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Mervyn Dines, and Miss Mervyn Dines, Mr. and Mrs. E. J.
