Forty-first annual meeting of the Toowoomba Croquet Club

The forty-first annual meeting of the Toowoomba Croquet Club was held in the club house. The financial statement was read by the treasurer, Mrs. W. J. Broadfoot. It showed a credit balance of £22/8/. The president (Mrs. D. F. Marshall), in her report, referred to the sad loss the club had sustained in the death of two members, Mesdames Stirling and H. Goodrich. Both had been on the committee and done a great deal of work for the club. Success had attended the bridge and croquet afternoons which had been held every month during the year. Donations made by the club during the year were: Red Cross Society, £17; fund for a mobile canteen, £7/10/; and Greek Relief fund, £10/10/. The members were grateful to Mrs. Gerard Boyce for a donation of £3/3/. Mrs. Marshall mentioned the care and attention which the lawns had received and thanked the greenkeeper, Mrs. G. Fogarty. She also expressed thanks to the patroness of the club (Mrs. J. D. Annand), the Press and the honorary auditor (Mr. Brodie). A report was also presented by the captain (Mrs. Nelson Fox). The election of office bearers resulted: president, Mrs. D. F. Marshall; vice-presidents, Mesdames Mervyn Dines and G. Fogarty; treasurer, Mrs. W. J. Broadfoot; captain, Mrs. Nelson Fox; committee members, Mesdames Bedwell, Cossart and Wagner.
