Three delegates each from the race club, football, cricket. basket ball, and vigoro clubs comprise the committee which is headed by Mr. C. J. White- house (Laidley Amateur Turf Club) as Chairman. The committee lists as its chief objectives the presentation of a united front to trustees of the reserve when re- quests for improvements are, made, and the provision and designing of buildings, fittings. and fixtures for clubs using the reserve. Laidley Shire Council has made its earth-moving machinery available to the committee at week-ends and on holidays, and it has been used to level off the race track straight, and playing fields; which cover an area of about five acres. Grass for a lawn has been planted, and the offer of Mr. C. Walsh, a well sinker, to put down a bore, has been accepted. Arrangements have been made to build a new concrete cricket pitch at the reserve, also to transfer the football field to a position in front of the site selected for the new racecourse grand- stand which is to be erected by the L.A.T.C. Funds have been provided by donations of £10 each from the trustees and the football and racing clubs. In addition Messrs. A. Banks, C. Francis, G. Lyne, and M. Lyne, council employees, each has given one days service free on operating the earth-moving machinery.
