In addition to tennis and lawn bowling, here are a few things that went on in the 1940s:
Activities of the Ladies Section included weekly sewing days and book reviews.
The War-workers met on Wednesday afternoons. In 1943, they made 478 garments and in 1944, they made 350, including quilting and knitting.
The mortgage of the Club premises was paid off by the end of 1945. To celebrate on March 16, at a party held by the Ladies’ Bridge Committee, the mortgage was burned.
