18 Closing meeting - Club Tea - The closing meeting of the club year has always been the Club Tea or luncheon. There have even been feasts and gala days. Frequently they have been held at members homes in town and when Mrs Blinks and Wilson still lived on farms this meeting were often held at thier country homes. Perry Oxley's carryall being chartered for transportation. One often hears the time spoken of when, at one of these meetings at Mrs Blinks, Mrs Crooss prepared stuffed and roasted a young squab for each person present and one can almost visualize Mr & Mrs Cross en route to the country driving thier span of spotted ponies lutched to a low hung phaeton. Later one of these meetings was held in Lisbon with Mrs Wilson, who was living their at the time. Since Mrs Erwin became a member of the club in 1928, until she requested her name placed on the retired list last year, we have had the meeting at her country home. What wonderful dinners and jolly times we have had
