-Tennis Activities

The tennis section had a fairly successful senson, In spite of the very bad weather which predominated throughout the summer and, while not dolag anything outstanding, was able to take a falt place in the two league divisions entered. It is hoped that more of the younger members will come forward for this scelion

The cricket section had a somewhat season. The first team, appointing sensor

a successful start, badly and finished with rather a poor fell away record, while the second team can only be described as having had an enjoyable season. The reason this non-success is fairly plain when it is noted that no

fewer that 21 members played in 13 matches for the first team. No team, no matter enn hope to be successful if the team how good the individual members,

I expressed the opinion that the membership of the Club was not commensurate with the present number of civil servants. I am glad

to see that over the past year there has been a slight increase in member- ship, but our numbers are still much too Ic All members should do their best to introduce new candidates

for membership.

Before sitting down, I should like to say just a word on the great loss the Club has sustained in the retire- ment of Mr. G. R. Sayer, who left the Colony on Friday last. Mr. Sayer has been a member of the Club.

25 years and has throughout that period been an active member, par- ticularly in the

the cricket section, hav- been captain of the first XI for several years. Ile has also played for the tennis teams and has been your eldent since the departure of Mr. Justice Wood. 1 am sure you will all join with me in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Sayer all the best of luck and a long and happy retirement.
