have had the honour of being your Pre- sident for the past four seasons owing to sickness this is the first occasion on which I have been able to take the Chair at your Annual General Meeting and I doubly wel- tame the opportunity.

I am extremely graded at the result shown on the year's work- ing; expenses have been cut down to a very minimum, and only the essenidal repairs have been carried qut. The grounds are, as you will see, in excellent condition, whilst the new fencing will undoubtedly gain is a mark of favour with the Football Association in that we will "the better be enabled to control the crowds that usually try to "gate- erash" at representative games.

APPEAL TO SPECTATORS" "» Before concluding my remarks xegarding fair play, etc. I must take this opportunity to make a special appeal for assistance from the spectators. We all know that a referee generally has his hands full in controlling the game and how distressing it is for some of us when we hear unkind, and often foul remarks directed to a Referee who is obviously doing his best. We pay to see clear and sparkling football and do no want our
