(By Sunbeam). A most successful wind-up to our basketball season was hold at the Trinity courts last Saturday afternoon, there being more than 40 members present. A special feature, of the afternoon hs enjoyment was a shield presented by three of the club members and the competition for it proved very keen indeed. The players were divided into > four teams, each, team being given the name of a native bird: Tui, Kiwi, Kea and Huia. The Huia team (the boys’ team) however, proved unbeatable and at the close of play the club president presented the shield to them for this

year. The shield is to be competed for each year. After basketball a paper-chase followed, and we were led to a paddock where our much looked forward to surprise eventuated in the form of a camp-fire. All were soon seated round the fire enjoying their tea, after which community singing was indulged in till the fire burnt low. We then spent, two hours in lively games. The singing of “Auld Lang Syne” brought what proved to be a most enjoyable and successful day to a close. We all felt very sad to think that basketball should be ended fee the year, but hikes and picnics will be continued, so watch for further notice.
