General Information:
Rift Valley - 10 Sep 1926 - Suggested 'That the practice of reserving tables in the club dining room be very severely stopped no matter who the person or persons wishing to reserve a table may be And that the service in the club dining room is most inefficient, eg Today six boys were on duty, 24 persons lunching, yet it took 17 minutes to obtain a course after the order for it had been given to the boy. This is a mild example of the delay on some occasions.'
