General meeting: new year to end in December

The West Toowoomba Croquet Club held its general meeting of members on Monday afternoon last. The period just closed was only of six months' duration, in order that the club's year in future should terminate on December 31. The report presented by the secretary made a comprehensive survey of the half-year's operations. Several members of the club were very successful in the last interstate tournament, and additional honours have been achieved by the selection of one member, Mrs. R. S. Gibson, to play with the Queensland team in the croquet tournament in connection with the New South Wales sesqui-centenary celebrations. The reports of other officials disclosed a very satisfactory state of affairs.

The president thanked the various officers for their co-operation during the term, and expressed the wish for its continuance throughout the coming year.

Mrs. O'Connell, who has acted in the capacity of treasurer for 4½ years, did not seek re-election. Her services were recognised by the presentation of a crystal rose bowl. Appreciation of her work was expressed by the president. No ballots were necessary for the filling of the various executive positions.

The officers for the ensuing year are: President, Mrs. J. Krimmer; vice-presidents, Mesdames W. Miller and C. J. Searle; hon. secretary, Mrs. E. A. McConachie; treasurer, Mrs. E. Stuart; captain, Mrs. J. Flegler; vice-captain, Miss I. Fryar; committee, Mesdames B. Padget, R. W. McLean, E. A. Baker, and Miss M. Crowther; tea-convener, Mrs. B. Padget; Press correspondent, Mrs. E. A. Baker; selection committee, Mrs. J. Flegler, Miss I. Fryar, and Mrs. R. S. Gibson; club delegate to Queensland Croquet Association, Mrs. Carmody.
