TUATAPERE
PERSONAL About 20 friends of Miss Peggy McIntyre paid a surprise visit to her home on the occasion of her twenty-first birthday. A jolly evening was spent in games and competitions, the winners of which were Misses E. King and A. McDonald, and Messrs G. McLeod and J. Mclntyre. Mr G. McLeod proposed a toast to the guest of honour and Miss Mclntyre replied. RED CROSS A general meeting of the Tuatapere Red Cross Society was well attended and Dr Elder presided. The president outlined the activities of the branch since the last meeting, the most important feature being the training of 35 V.A.’s. They are now equipped with uniforms and have sat their home nursing and first aid examinations. Four have expressed a wish to go overseas if required, while numerous others are prepared to serve anywhere in New Zealand. It was reported that the emergency chest was almost completed, with the exception of blankets, which were difficult to obtain. Medical supplies were on order and the chest had been insured. TENNIS Because of the travelling restrictions tennis competition matches in the Waiau Tennis Association have been cancelled, but the Excelsior Tennis Club recently invited members of the Tuatapere and Papatotara Clubs to participate in mixed doubles and singles. Two teams were picked from the players present and some interesting and close games were seen.
Entries for the McClymont and Austin cups for women’s and men’s handicap singles have now closed and players are asked to play then - matches as soon as.possible.
