WORKSHOPS TENNIS CLUB PICNIC

During the day a programme of novelty sports events and games were carried out, so that interest in the proceedings never once lagged. Ice creams, lollies, and soft drinks were freely given to every child; also toys for the tiny tots. The highlight of the day's programme was the remarkable fast time put up by R.
