Pennant unfurled at the Toowoomba Croquet Lawns

A most pleasing little function took place at the Toowoomba Croquet Lawns on Monday afternoon, when the pennant which was won three years in succession by the pennant members of the club was unfurled by Mrs. Sowden, the late President of the Queensland Croquet Association. Mrs. Sowden was President when the pennant was won, and, with members of the Graceville Croquet Club, is visiting Toowoomba. In addition to the visitors the members of the Toowoomba Club entertained the officers of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club at afternoon tea, and at bridge in the evening, in the pavilion. The Mayoress, Mrs. J. D. Annand, was present for the unfurling of the pennant, and expressed her pleasure at the success of the players Mrs. Sowden was presented with a bouquet of Mina Lobata, and golden glow, tied with the club colours. The members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club entertained the visitors and the officers of the Toowoomba Croquet Club yesterday afternoon and evening. During the afternoon a friendly match was played on their lawns.
