Once again the ancient and popular game of bowls is in full swing on the mountain greens, and everything points to a highly-successful and enjoyable season. An exceptionally large number of uew members have been (enrolled on the club's books, and the club has been strengthened by the return to its ranks of quite a number of old members, who, by removal from the district and various reasons, had relinquished membership. Included in this number are Messrs. H. Rankin, J. Fernandez, A. Walker, H. Tattersall, J. Hooker, J. Rendell, sen., the wee McDougall, and that astute general, Frank Saxton. Mr. Geo. Tutt, one of the oldest club members, is president. Mr. T. R. Keesing is again assuming secretarial functions. Mr. W. J. Owen fulfils the treasurership. The General Committee consists of Messrs. V. Hudson, H. N. Gill, Jas.. Smith, and W. Woolley, while the Match and Selection Committee consists of Messrs. W. lire, T. Nairn, and F. J. Fawcett. This committee wish the members to note that the draw on Saturdays will commence at 2.15 p.m. sharp, and they solicit the co-operation of all to carry it through successfully. Very large entries have been received for the Club Competitions, and again the members are requested to pay attention to the time announced as the limit for the various rounds. The time-table must be adhered to, otherwise it will be impossible' to finish within the season. A new innovation this season is the President's and Vice-Presidents' Fours..
