<--This was a delightful programme with rhymes and notes throughout. Some are reproduced here together with some photos:

There was a young lady named Lilly
Could do anything with a pilly
She could cut she could spin
Every game she could win
"cos she played with the men willy-nilly.

There are several young ladies from Otago
On whom we'll proclaim an embargo
They serve far too swift
With a spin that's a gift
Let's export them as inhuman cargo

There was a young man from the Avon
His drives sent the spectators ravin"
Women said "What a man"
But they're all "also ran"
As his strength for the singles he's savin"
