Club and inter-club matches took place at other greens, keen and interesting contests providing pleasure for both players and visitors alike.

ROCKY NOOK OPENING “I have been invited to bowl here this afternoon, but after the all-night sittings w r e have had in the House recently, I think 1 had better not risk my reputation as a bowler,” said the Hon. A. J. Stallworthy, Minister of Health, at the opening of the Rocky Nook Bowling and Croquet Club on Saturday. Mr. Stallworthy stressed the value of the sporting spirit, remarking that it was to her exploits on the playing field that Great Britain owed her present position. The greens, which were in splendid condition, were declared open by Mr. W. H. Tong, president of the club. Mrs. Tong bowled the first jack. There was a large attendance of about 70 bowlers and 30 croquet players. Members of the Auckland Bowling Centre attended later in the afterno on. Following were the results of the games:—Sidler, Cullen, Blakey, Tongue Xv. r - Harrison, Lewis, Yeo, White IS; Chambers, Jones, Lamb, Wilson SO, v Wright, Mathews, Edwards, Blakeley Jl; Lamg, White, Scully, Pearce 20, v.

WEST END There was a large attendance at the West End green when the president, Mr. W. Hardley, extended a welcome 1o a large number of members and visitors. In addition to visitors from other clubs and members from the Auckland Centre there were many women present. Referring to this, the president said he hoped that the day would not be far distant when there would be a number of women's clubs in the city. Referring to the valuable assistance given by many members, Mr. Hardley particularly referred to the service rendered by Mr. W. Knox, the greenkeeper, Mr. Needham and Mr. Man. Mr. J. W. Hardley, who with Messrs. T. liocter, "Wright and Tonkin, was present representing the Auckland centre, also expressed the wish that the club would experience a happv and successful season.

Mr. Hardley said he was speaking not only as a member of the centre, 'out also as a member of the West End Club and a past-president. After having been appointed delegate to the centre he became centre president, and also president of the New Zealand Centre. These duties had taken him away a great deal from his old club and It was for that reason he was part ticulariy pleased to be with them that

i 1 f.. most sociable sport 1 know of, said Mr. Hardley, “and I am here today to give you the best sports ß "° f J’ ooo bowlers, and all good spoits. He was also pleased to see srSd wo- M - j - sava = c ' m.p. who! n<3 &aia, -was a very good sport.

PONSONBY Expressing the wish that all members would experience a very enjoyable season, Mr. J. Schischka, president of the Ponsonby Bowling Club, extended a welcome to members and visitors at the club’s greens on Saturday. Mr. Schischka said the club was deeply indebted to .the members of the Ladies’ Croquet Club and friends of the members for the assistance they had always given so freely to the club. He also asked those present to pay the usual token of respect to the members of the club whose deaths had occurred since last season. It was with deep regret that the club had to record the deaths of Messrs. J. Hodgson, A. N. Snedden and A. Rowlands, who were very old and valued members of the club, and also Messrs. J. D. Kemp and L. Neale, who would also be greatly missed. The president paid a tribute to the work done by those responsible for the greens and said that with the greens in such good order an enjoyable season seemed assured. Miss Schischka threw the first jack and the greens were declared open for the 1929-30 season. During the afternoon 12 rinks were engaged in play.

HALLIBURTON JOHNSTONE The second season of the Hallyburton Johnstone Sports Club, comprising bowling and croquet greens and tennis courts at Point Chevalier, opened under most auspicious circumstances on Saturday afternoon. Many bowlers were present for the first games of the season. Mr. A. Neilson, club president, in declaring the greens open, warmly greeted bowlers from all clubs. Good progress was being made, he said, the club now having a membership of 25. During the off season, the residence, which had been donated as part of the sports club facilities, had been altered and converted into a large social hall. These improvements had been made possible by Mr. W. A. Phillips, who had financed the scheme. During the afternoon, Messrs. J. M. Thomson, G. Gladding and H. C. Clarke. representing the Auckland

Bowling Centre, visited the green and congratulated the club on the opening of the season, which promised to be most successful. Mrs. Neilson. wife of the president, sent up the first jack and club play then proceeded. GREY LYNN A liberal display of bunting round the entrance enlivened the scene at the official opening of the Grey Lynn Club’s greens on Saturday afternoon. The function was largely attended by members, and numerous visitors from other clubs as far away as Pukekohe were also present. A party representing the Auckland Bowling Centre, Messrs. J. M. Thomson, G. Gladding and H: C. Clarke, also participated in the ceremony. In declaring the greens open, the club president, Mr. F. J. Baildon, referred appreciatively to the growth of membership, whieft now stood at 91, with a prospect of a substantial increase this season. He regretted that the executive had been compelled to close the ‘greens to winter play, so that they would be in the best possible condition for summer games. He paid a warm tribute to the work of the caretaker and the green-super-intendent and members had voluntar- ■ ily performed work to improve the greens. The many visitors were cordially welcomed by the president. On behalf of the Auckland Centre, Mr. J. M. Thomson congratulated the club on the success of its activities during the past year and expressed the hope that the present season would be even more successful. He also referred to the fact that the club : had raised about £l6O last year by its social activities, and commended the wives of members for their splendid work in the interests of the club. Bowlers throughout the province, he said, were to have a busy season with the visits of the Canadians in December and later of Taranaki playe**S; The centre was also arranging a visit this season to clubs round the East Coast, between Tauranga and Gisborne.
