TANEATUA CLUB

A most enjoyable day was spent recently when members of the Taneatua Golf Club gathered together for their closing day. The weather was perfect, play was keen and the lady members served a very delicious lunch and afternoon tea.

In the morning a one-club match was played and in the afternoon approaching, putting and long driving competitions were held. After afternoon tea had been served, Mr W. Alexander, president of the club, addressed the gathering. He spoke of the pleasure the links had provided during the short time they had been opened and regretted the necessity of closing owing to the growth of grass. He thanked all those who had worked so hard to get the links opened and particularly .those ladies’ who had supplied lunch and afternoon tea every club day thereby accumulating a substantial credit balance for the club funds.
