Rose bowl presented to the club president

The President of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club, Mrs. A. T. Parrot, assisted by her daughter, Miss Lorretta Parrot, entertained the members of the Club at afternoon tea in the Bowlers' Pavilion. Flags and palm stands with brass bowls of poinsettia made a bright setting. The T-shaped table was beautified with delphiniums, golden gleam nasturtiums and vari-coloured sweet peas. Mrs. Parrot welcomed the members. Mrs. R. Walsh (senior vice-president) responded, and on behalf of the members presented Mrs. Parrot with a beautiful crystal rose bowl. Mrs. M'Lean (vice-president) and Miss Connelly also spoke a few words. Mrs. Parrot expressed her appreciation of the members' kindly thought. Those present included: Mesdames R. Walsh, R. M'Lean, J. Krimmer, W. Millar, A. E. Baker, A. B. Carter, A. Wilson, M. O'Connell, E. A. M'Conachie, A. E. Carrell, F. Bullock, Mitchell, G. Wagner, J. Clarke, B. Marshall, C. Searle, C. Healy, J. P. Newman, Gibson, B. Padget, Misses R. Fryar, M. Crowther, E. Campbell, E. Tolmie and Connelly. Apologies were received from Mesdames C. Blake, Norris and S. Stuart.
