Last season was a successful one for the club and this season with the above competitions interest in the game will increase,even more. The action of the : donors is much appreciated by numbers and shows that the Club has a solid standing in the town.

The social side of the club's activities is not being neglected, and later in the season a dance will be held, the date of whieh will be notified later.

We are pleased to see with us again Mr W. G.\ Quarrie, our late club captain, but understand that he will not be taking up his residence in the town peimanently. With fine weather to assist, all the competitions should be in full swing next month and it is hoped that members, will enter for same freely.
