Toowoomba Croquet Club president thanked with a mallet

B(y "Bisque.")

During the past week members of the Toowoomba Croquet Club had delightful weather for their games. On Monday week the retiring president, Mrs. Rowe, gave a delightfully arranged afternoon. Tea was served to the members and social members of the club, and the afternoon was spent playing polo croquet, the winner eventually being Mrs. Thorburn.

On Friday the president's and members' annual day was held, taking the form of a coin afternoon, when the patroness, Mrs. Annand, presented all prizes won during the last year. During the afternoon, the secretary, Mrs. Booth, took the opportunity, on behalf of members, of presenting Mrs. Rowe with a mallet as a mark of appreciation of her services to the club as president during the last five years. The annual meeting for the election of officers will take place on Friday next.
