Toowoomba Croquet Club holds its Christmas party

Croquet Club.—The Toowoomba Croquet Club held a happy Christmas party at its club house on Wednesday. Most of the members were present. The tables were beautified with bowls of carnations and hydrangeas. A Christmas cake was made and donated by the president (Mrs. W. P. Cooke). Opportunity was taken to make a small presentation to Mr. M. Brodie, who has rendered great service to the club. Appreciation was expressed by the members to Mr. Brodie and to Miss Lippold, who has handed around cups of tea twice a week for 30 years. She was also given a small gift to mark the club's appreciation. Competitions and games were enjoyed.
