Club celebrates its seventh birthday

The West Toowoomba Bowling Club's pavilion was attractively decorated with the club's colours, red and white, and brass bowls of dahlias, gerberas, roses, and bouvardia, yesterday afternoon, when the president and members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club celebrated their seventh birthday with a well arranged party.
