Excellent luncheon and afternoon tea was provided by a ladies’ committee, who deserve the thanks of the club for the work they put in and the excellent menu provided. The Ohinemuri Jockey Club very kindly placed the use of its large dining room at the disposal of the club for the day, and this added Jo the comfort and pleasure of those taking part,.
