NEW SERVICES CLUB
If the new club for servicemen opened at Day’s Bay on Saturday night proves a success, it will be continued throughout the summer months under an arrangement between the Wellington City Corporation (owner of Williams Park) and the Patriotic Committee. The mayor of Eastbourne, Mr. E. Wise, says that the club premises will be available to men of all fighting services on Saturdays from 4.30 p.m. to 11 p.m., and on Sundays from 4.30 p.m. to 10 p.m. It is understood that men in uniform are not permitted to take their own girl friends, but that girls from the eastern side of the hour will act as hostesses. Servicemen are supplied with tea, supper, a dance and all the amenities of the club (which include ping-pong tables, quoits, and so 'in) for 1/6 a head. An Allied force dance laud, one of the best heard at Day’s Bay, played the music on Saturday night. Nothing is being neglected by the young women of the district to make the now services club a' thorough success.
