Somo very desirable improvements are needed at the Pulmerston North Bowling Club's greens. The paths in certain parts badly require letarring, and a quantity of rotten timber along the borders need replacing with new woodwork. Tho greens are first-class a 6 n result of the attention tlicy have received from tho caretaker during the winter months.
