From Our Own Correspondent Table Tennis. The annual meeting of the Table Tennis Club was held recently when Air. D. Rowland presided over a fair attendance of members. The report was as roilows:— "The club concluded its fourth year with a satisfactory balance of 22s 9d. Two teams had entered in the Alanawatu B grade competition. The A team had won one game and lost five In the first round, while the B team had been more successful by winning live, drawing one and losing one. The record of the second round had been misplaced so could not be recorded. The committee wishes to convey thanks to the iady members who so willingly helped the club in many ways, and to supporters of the club who also helped In various- ways. Thanks wore also due to ear owners who so generously provided transport for the teams, and to the hall committee for the generous reduction in the cost of hall hire.” The new committee elected was:— Messrs S. Rowland (club captain), W. Weddell (re-elected secretary), 1. Parkinson, R. Rowland, W. Johnston, Aliases L. and J. Hearsey and At. Rowland. Air. D. Rowland was re-elected president and Alessrs Af.
