TURUA TENNIS CLUB

SUCCESSFUL PAST SEASON (From Our Own Correspondent) NGATEA, Tuesday. Thirty members attended the sixth annual meeting of the Turua Lawn Tennis Club on Monday evening. Mr. A. H. Rogers presided. The annual report recorded a successful season, the club having again won the Howell Williams Memorial Shield and the Hayward Shield, and being beaten by only one game in the final match of the Laidlaw Cup competition. In the Hauraki Plains Tennis Association’s tournaments members of the club were again very successful. Club competitions and tournaments had been well supported. A volleying board had been erected during the season. The credit balance on the year’s workings was £6B 16s od, and the bank overdraft had been reduced by £BO during the year to £l4O. Assets exceeded liabilities by £320. The following officers were elected: Patron, Mr. S. S. Murray; president, Mr. A. H. Rogers; secretary. Dr. T. A. Miller: treasurer. Mr. F. C. Robinson; auditor. Mr. J. E. Green: committee. Misses K. Mules, I. Griffiths, J. Madgwick, Messrs. R. Madgwick, A McConnell, C. Scott and R. Muller. Labour Day, October 28, was fixed as opening day and it was decided to finish the day with a ball. The delegates to the Hauraki Plains Tennis Association were instructed to urge that the inter-club competitions be played under the zone system. Members stood in silence to carry a vote of sympathy with an old member, Mr. J. L. Brownlee, whose son was fatally injured and whose wife was seriously injured in motor accidents in Auckland on Saturday last.
