TIMARU CLUB The annual meeting of the Timaru Tennis Club was held last evening, there being an excellent attendance. In presenting the annual report and balance-sheet, the president (Dr. W. R. Fea) thanked all who had so ably assisted him during the past year. Three teams were entered In the South Canterbury Association’s A, B and C grades, and although unsuccessful some excellent games had been played. During the season, the A team secured the Ross Shield from the Aorangl Club after an interesting match. Towards the end of the year a most enjoyable picnic and dance was held in conjunction with the Wai-iti Club, from which a slight profit was realised. The club finished the season with a credit balance of £l9/17/2. Election of Officers The election of officers resulted: President, Dr. W. R. Fea; vice-presi-dent, Mr A. E. Sandral; committee, Mrs W.
