Women's Hockey Club.

The season this year opened quite successfully for us. There was an enthusiastic gathering of members at the general meeting, held early in March, most of those present being members of last year's team, but we welcomed also several new members.

It was decided to enter a team in the Senior Competitions again. The standard of play is much better than last year's, probably owing to the fact that we have obtained the use of Kelburn Park as a practice ground, every Tuesday from 4 o'clock to 5. Though this hour is not suitable for every player, it is to be hoped that all those who can will continue turning out in full force.

This year, four of our team were awarded blazers, which is a great improvement on former years. To all appearances, the number of people winning blazers for hockey is going to increase every year.

Having a good credit balance at the beginning of the season, the club spent quite a lot of money on material which, while being made use of by the players, will always be the property of the club.

We were sorry to lose the services of D. Butterfield, a valuable member of the team, who is not able to play for us any more.
