HAGLEY PARK AND DRESSING SHEDS
Sir, —In Hagley Park we have undoubtedly one o* the finest playing areas in the world, and ev6rv Saturday hundreds of sportsmen and sportswomen, representing all codes of sport, gather on this area of ground, and yet there are no dressing facilities available, unless, of course, the lone tree in the middle of North Hagley Park is considered sufficient privacy for two Rugby fifteens, its branches adeSiiate cover from the rain for their othes, and the rain itself to act as a shower. As I understand it, the Rugby Union has on many occasions made representation to the City Council on this score, but to no avail. As actions speak louder than words, may I respectfully suggest that our councillors visit North Hagley Park, en bloc, and get some practical experience at disrobing with privacy (with or without dignity) under the naked larms of this lonely tree.—Yours, etc., NAKED BRIGHTON NYMPH. August 18, 1952.
