Toowoomba Croquet Club holds its Christmas party

The Toowoomba Croquet Club House was gaily decorated with a variety of Christmas favours, bowls of hydrangeas, agapanthus, Christmas bush and other seasonal flowers for the club's Christmas party.

Play in an all-day competition resulted in a win for the president's team over the captain's team.

The Christmas cake, which was made by the president and iced by Mrs. Weymouth, was cut at afternoon tea by Mrs. Annand, the patroness. Mrs. Annand was presented with a posy. A posy was also presented to the president by members. Each member and visitor received a small gift. Mrs. McConachie expressed her appreciation to all members, and wished them all the season's compliments.
