Palmers Green will, remember the frantic search for " a picture
of Myrna Loy " or " a 'bus ticket with digits adding up to 17."
A party in the club pavilion on the last Saturday in September
provided the grand finale.
Now, the Winter Tennis Club is holding its sway over the
hard courts. The small but enthusiastic band of members spends
enjoyable week-ends in keeping fit for the all too short summer
months.
And now, one word as to membership. It is anticipated that
there will,be a rush to join for next season, so that it is advisable
that intending members should apply as early as possible. The
addition of another grass court will leave room for more members
than last year, but, even so, we would not like you to be disappointed.
Enquiries as to membership and subscriptions s'hould
be made to :—

THE OLD BOYS' FOOTBALL CLUB.
The annual report of the Old Boys' Football Club was presented
1 by Mr. Eric G. Greenwood, the Hon. Secretary, at the
General Meeting, held on September 10th, 1937. He said:—
It is my duty first to sum up briefly our. efforts for season
1936-37. I am afraid this is not a very pleasant duty.this time,
and I will just give you the final positions of our three teams and
leave it at that. The 1st Eleven finished next to bottom in the
Senior Division, having played 18 3 won 4, drawn 4, lost 10,,with 37
goals against 47. The Reserve Eleven finished two from the
bottom in Division II.'North, having played 18, won 4, drawn 3,
and lost 11, 29 goals for, 50 against. The 3rd Eleven, I am
pleased to say, saved the club's reputation a little, finishing in the
highest position of all three teams. They were 6th out of 11 in
Junior Division, North, with the record of won 5, drawn 4, and
lost 9, scoring 47 goals against 84. Our membership numbers
were quite satisfactory, and we had sufficient to run three teams
comfortably. As usual, the numbers fell off towards the end of
the season owing to injuries and the gradual diminishing of
enthusiasm. It was gratifying to see several new members who
joined up straight from school take up positions in our teams
and thoroughly settle down to regular football with us. I hope
this will continue.
I would like to take this opportunity of offering the club's
best thanks to Mr. Everard for his invaluable assistance in this
direction.

There was one outstanding event in the club's history which
took place last season. This was our first Easter tour abroad.
