Rehabilitated recently, the new structure looks resplendent in cream and green. Features of the Club house Include a spacious lounge with a bar, a reading room, a large hall for indoor sports or dance floor, wide porch and dressing rooms. Behind the Club house in a newly touchd-up pavilion, 18 between these two buildings, in on open opice, which when treated will provide either a lawn bowl green In front of the Club house is the football field. Quarters are provided for or tennis courts. the staff in the Club house itself.

The first group of seamen to utilise the ground dame from the s. Clytonous and Tre- wellard who played a friendly soccer game in October last year. Since then the ground has been frequently used by visiting whip's personnel. Contact can be made with the Club house by telephone-58666: A meeting and luncheon of the Port Welfare Committee, which has suc- cessfully rehabilitated the Club prentises, will be held at the Sports Ground on Wednesday at 1 p.m. A launch will be at Queen's Pier at 12.50 p.m. to take gucets.
