SUCCESSFUL YEAR REVIEWED

LEVIN GOLF CLUB MEE.TS PREPARATIONS FOR" SEASON In the unavoidable absence of the president (Professor F.'*P, 'Wilson), Mr. J. S. Dickinson presided over a'n attendance of 31 members at the recent "annual meeting of the Levin Golf Club. ; . , ; In his report, the president referred to the successful season ""of last -year and', in welcoming back members of.the club who had returned from overseas service, expressed the hope that they would again be prominent -in w^iat promises to be an outstanding season. The president ufged that the club look to the future and envisage tiie day in the not too distant future s when Levin's population would be doubled. With the steadily increas- • . ing membership that will naturally follow a return to normal conditions, the club would soon find that the presgnt fiinerhole course was , inadequate. An 18-hole couise would be a further attraction to an already attractive "to'wnl. The president urged the set'ting up ^of a committee to exaniine possible sites, and to consider finance.
