Twenty-eighth birthday party and trophies

A wealth of flowers decorated the pavilion of the West Toowoomba Bowling Club when the members of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club held their twenty-eighth birthday celebrations. The president of the club, Mrs. J. Flegler, welcomed the visitors, who included the Mayoress, Mrs. M. R. Anderson. At afternoon tea, congratulations on the club's anniversary were extended by the Mayoress and Mesdames P. S. Priest and R. H. Carlisle, representing the Laurel Bank and Toowoomba Croquet Clubs, respectively.

Mrs. Anderson, assisted by a vice-president of the club, Mrs. C. J. Searle, presented the trophies won during the year. The club championship for 1952 was won by Mrs. M. Dean, with Mrs. J. Flegler runner-up. The winner of the B. and C. Grade singles was Mrs. P. Doyle, with Mrs. R. Apelt runner-up.
