Druids Lodge Reports Cricket Club Plans And Social Highlights
At the last Druids lodge meeting the secretary announced proposals to fundraise for the new cricket club led by Ray Grenfell. Officers include Tom Wells treasurer and HT True man chairman with Hayes and L James, A Brown, Lewin Hill, and Dick Grenfell on the committee. A bowls competition in No 12 District was discussed, with Sunshine likely to enter two teams. In Yarraville, a cribbage tournament saw Bro. Sam Morgan’s wife win the trophy while Sunshine teams fought hard in rubber matches. The social committee worked on a refined dancing floor for an improved social evening and illuminated box ads drew attention. The star dance crowned Bro Ray Grenfell and Miss Flo Me Vitty. Miss Eileen O Halloran won the entrance token. Bro Carmichael of Williamstown claimed the special star prize. Footscray Lodge celebrated its diamond jubilee with over 500 attendees, brief speeches, and a grand supper. Congratulations went to Laurie, secretary for 37 years, and other long-serving members. Ron Fletcher was initiated at Sunshine, with prospects for another meeting next Thursday.
