Whakatane Badminton Club The newly formed Whakatane Badminton Club opened last Thursday evening in the Caledonian Hall where a good crowd of members, together with visitors from the Awakeri and Thornton Clubs mustered for an evening of games. Play was good, and a thoroughly enjoyable time resulted. The light supper, which was served by the ladies present was very much appreciated, and when play resumed, it did so with noticeably renewed vigour. Prospective players for the Whakatane Club number approximately twenty-five, and represent two good strong teams, one ladies’ and one men’s.
