BASKETBALL DANCE

ANNUAL FUNCTION AT TIRAU An important event, the annual basketball dance held by the Tirau Club in the Town Hall recently, was a brilliant success. The hall was thronged with dancers, visitors being present from Matamata, Putaruru and surrounding districts Black and white, the club's colours, were the predominant note In the effective decorative scheme. White shields edged with black and with the letters “T.B C.” in black were arranged along the walls of the hall.
