BADMINTON.
" Tho advice received recently frojh the Defence Department that drill halls would"not in future be made available to sports bodies has made it necessary for the Woodville- Badminton Club to revise its projected schedule of activities for the season. Club members on Tuesday evening inspected the Foresters’ Hall with a view to ascertaining what possibilities there were ot calling on the game there. It was found, however, that the hall is only laige enough for the laying down of one court and this would not. be sufficient to meet the requirements oi the club s very large membership. The result or the inspection was subsequently reported to a meeting of . the executive committee, attended by Messrs It. Stitt (chairman), Y* r . J- Goodwin, E. L. Wilson and H. Lagor, Mrs Wilson and Misses S. Coleman and R. Gnnlinton (secretary). It was decided to call a general meeting of the club tor the purpose of giving consideration to a notice of motion that the present club be disbanded and a table tennis and badminton club formed in its stead. It was considered that the Foresters’ Hall would be quite adequate for the purposes of the proposed new organisation.
