Oval plan gives the croquet club an extra rink

From Our Special Representative

TOOWOOMBA: A plan of improvements suggested by the trustees of the Toowoomba Athletic Oval will be carried out soon, and will enhance considerably the whole of this area of land.

If the plan is carried through as anticipated, Toowoomba Bowling Club will have an extra rink, Toowoomba croquet club an extra rink and the Tennis Association an improved club-house.

Vacant land will be used to advantage in beautifying the entire area which is under the control of the Trustees.

Suggested improvements and additions to the main grandstand of the Athletic Oval have been suspended because of the heavy cost involved and the possibility of shortages of necessary building materials.
