Woodlands Park Recreation Committee

April 1921, click to enlarge.

The Woodlands Park Recreation Committee ran the activities of the top recreation ground, which were originally quite broad, but by the 1920s included bowls and tennis.

Several leaflets about events survive in Birmingham Archive, which have been added to this post, along with transcriptions.

Edits for April 1927

The edits made, above, suggest that by 1927 the Woodlands Park Recreation Committee was beginning to split between the bowlers and tennis players, with the 'Tennis Section' planning to produce their own leaflet.
