Wellington Tennis Club seeks council aid to avert collapse
A Wellington deputation led by J W Price and K Porter asked the council for financial assistance as the tennis club faces about 110 pounds in debt. With night lights banned and fewer young members due to training and enlistments, revenue from subscriptions and ball fees is dwindling. The council was urged to take over the grounds and retain the capable groundsman, while club officials prepare a full budget for review at the next meeting.
