ST. JOHN AMBULANCE

There was a good attendance at a lecture given last evening fb members of St. John Ambulance service by Dr. W. M. Maclaurin. The service is making good progress here. St. John’s Croquet Club.

After 20 years’ activity, St, John’s Croquet Club has been wound up owing to a falling off in membership. This decision was arrived at when a meeting was held recently to discuss the position. It was stated that the cause of the reduced membership lay in the fact that the club did not have a full-sized green. It was decided to donate the club’s property to St. John’s Church Vestry, and a motion of thanks to Mrs Golding for her lengthy interest in the club was passed.
