HONG KONG REEL CLUB PROGRESS
Successful Year's Work Reported
A very successful year, both financially and otherwise, was reported by the President, Mr. E. Forsyth, at the annual General meeting of the Hongkong Reel Club, which was held at the Helena May Institute yesterday and attended by large number of members
Mr. H. R. Forsyth, the Presid- ent, in reviewing the activities of the club for the past year, said that he had very little to add to the report which had already been in the hands of the members for the required period. The financial position of the club, he said, was in an extraordinarily good posl- tion which was rather unusual for such a small alone. The entrance he tees and subscriptor's were, thought, probably the highest in the history of the club. and on this they could congratulate them kelves.
.:
Mr. Forsyth then expressed the hope that they would be able, to maintain this position, and that members would retain their mem- bership, at the same time bringing in as many new members as pos-
'ble.
The dances at the St. Andrew's Ball last year had improved con- siderably, and in this direction thanks were due to Pipe-Major Mackle, and his assistants.
The President then proposed the adoption of the report and accounts. This was seconded by Mr. K. S. Morrison, and carried unanimously.
