At the afternoon tea adjournment the president, Mrs. McConachie, voiced regret at the illness of Mrs. Baker, a past member of the club, and expressed her best wishes for her speedy recovery. She also welcomed Mrs. Hendersen, a new member, and hoped that her association with the club would always prove happy. Members were reminded not to forget Monday afternoon, June 20, the date chosen for the unfurling of the 1949 Downs Croquet Pennant, which was keenly contested and won by the West Toowoomba Croquet Club. Mrs. J. Gibson (president of the Q.C.A., Brisbane) will present and unfurl the pennant. She will be accompanied by the executive officers of the association. Invitations have been sent to all the Downs Clubs which competed in this year's pennant fixtures, and it is hoped that there will be a full attendance.
