West Toowoomba members do well at the interstate tournaments

The members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club are proud of the outstanding success attained by many of its members who took part in the recent interstate tournaments. The fine programme compiled by the Queensland Croquet Association naturally attracted enthusiasts from a wide area, including places as far distant as Ayr, Charleville, and Lismore. In view of such competition the fine performances of the ladies of West Toowoomba Club is all the more creditable.

It was indeed unfortunate that Miss Fryar, after having won her way into the semi-final of the Country event was forced to forfeit through ill-health. The good play of Mrs. Elvery, who was the Club's C Grade nominee, should also not be overlooked. The Club felt proud of Mrs. Baker who was their representative for the Q.C.A. Brooch. Congratulations are offered to her on bringing back such a coveted honour. Best wishes and congratulations are also extended to Mesdames Gibson, Flegler, McConachie and Miss Crowther on their successes. These were as follow:—

Runner-up open championship: Mrs. R. S. Gibson.

Mrs. F. R. Hall trophy: Mrs. J. Flegler with Miss Crowther runner-up.

B and C Grade Doubles: Miss Crowther and Mrs. Holland.

Runners-up: Mrs. J. Flegler and Mrs. McConachie.

Country event: Mrs. J. Flegler.

The West Toowoomba Croquet Club extended congratulations to Mrs. Bridgman and Mrs. Esler of the Toowoomba Croquet Club on their fine achievements at the same tournament.
