9th December,
By 1952 the playing membership had risen to 284. Jack
Tickle had commenced the hiring of trolleys, all the
numerous stiles on the course had been replaced by
gates but the Board was still unable to improve
conditions in the outbuildings.Through sheer
overcrowding in the main locker rooms more lockers
had to be installed. Repair work was, without the
appropriate licence, limited to £100 per annum. If you
could imagine the condition of the outbuildings, you
would realise that £100 wouldn’t go very far.

Dear Sir/Madam
It is strange when one considers that
nowadays, when four people join together
the first thing they do is produce a club
tie. Langland did not have an official tie
until 1950/51. It is said that a camel is a
horse designed by a committee and with
the greatest of respect to the members of
the sub-committee who designed the first tie, there is a good
deal of truth in the statement.The first Club tie was in a thick,
almost flannel, material, with narrow red and green strips on a
black background and it was generally considered rather
dismal.The second model which had red, green and black
stripes of approximately equal width was less dismal, but was
also not very highly thought of by members.The mark III
model, for want of a better description, is the one still in
general use although a mark IV and a mark V make their
appearance later in the book.There was another tie for League
Team members who had played in three or more league

Greig Simpson and George
Shellard commenced protracted negotiations with the
appropriate agricultural authorities and ultimately were able to
give notice to quit.
The table tennis removal, temporary at this stage, was a victory
for some of the elderly members. It must be remembered that
at this time there was an entrance hall where the upper part of
the lounge now is. It was then down two steps into a separate
room that was used basically as a dining room but where a
table tennis table was also installed and used if team meals
were not being served.This table gave a great deal of fun to a
large number of regularly attending members.Things did get a
