Toowoomba club farewells West Toowoomba president

To say "good-bye" to Mrs. Carmody, president of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club, Mrs. E. Rowe (president of Toowoomba Croquet Club) and her committee arranged a croquet afternoon at the Toowoomba lawns yesterday, when Mrs. Carmody and her committee were the guests of the Toowoomba president and committee. On her arrival the guest of honour was presented with a bouquet of pink wax begonia and blue perennial peas. Afternoon tea was served in the shade of the pretty vine-covered club house, and the table was gay with Iceland poppies (from the garden of Mrs. F. W. Isaacs). The hostesses were Mesdames E. J. Rowe (president), W. P. Oakely and N. A. Gorbett (vice-presidents), F. W. Isaacs (captain), O. Booth (hon. secretary), A. Gaydon, and F. Hodgson. Their guests, in addition to the guest of honour, were Mesdames T. L. Fryar, M'Lean, Compagnoni, W. Millar, R. Walsh, B. E. Krimmer, and H. Hale.
