West Toowoomba lawn closed for top-dressing; Christmas party planned

FOR some time past members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club have been denied their sport owing to continued rain, and now that the lawn is being top-dressed there will be no play for a further period. The question of holding a Darling Downs croquet tournament will be discussed by members at a meeting to be held at the club rooms next Thursday morning. The keynote of an afternoon party to be held at the club rooms on the following Thursday will be a lucky dip. Each member is asked to bring something, and each will receive a Christmas gift. The entertainment will be in the form of a croquet tournament, for which trophies have been donated. Mrs. W. Miller will arrange the floral decorations, and the centre of attraction will be a decorated Christmas cake—a gift of the president (Mrs. E. A. McConachie).
