Toowoomba club hosts Allora players in carnival week

In order to give St. Andrew's (Allora) Croquet Club an opportunity of visiting Toowoomba during its gala week, the Toowoomba Croquet Club entertained St. Andrew's members at all-day play on Monday.

In keeping with the spirit of the carnival, the club house was gay with floral window boxes and bowls of lovely blooms. Roses were given pride of place on the luncheon tables.

The president of the Toowoomba Club, Mrs. R. H. Carlisle, welcomed the visitors, who, in returning thanks to their hostesses, said they had enjoyed the day. The president of the visiting team, Mrs. Huxley, was presented with a lovely bouquet of roses as a memento of the occasion.

An invitation has been extended to the Allora Croquet Club to visit the Toowoomba Club next Saturday to enable members of that club to see Toowoomba en fete.
