The green will be fully taxed during this week, as there are a considerable number of games to be played by Monday next. On Saturday the first round of the Booth Cup and Centre Shield fixture will be played at home against four teams from Carterton. Members are reminded of the Centre New Year fours tournament, and are asked to place their teams on the board. Entries will close at 5 p.m, on Tuesday, December 28.

The Park bowlers were the guests of the Masterton Club during the weekend, and, although the weather was rather disappointing, very enjoy,able games were played. The Masterton players were definitely on top in play and hospitality. Arrangements have been made for a return visit in a fortnight’s time.
