After dealing at length with the financial side and sporting activi- ties Mr. Bradbury sald: "I regret to And it necessary to touch upon a subject which has been the cause of considerable controversy in the past, and that is the question of the closing hour. There has lately been reports coming through to the effect that certain members have persisted in remaining in the Club after the official closing hour, and they even go to the extent of removing drinks from the Bar in definance of the boys' refusal to serve them. I accordingly wish to appeal to members generally to co-operate in the enforcement of this necessary regulation, and now that attention, is being drawn to the irregularity, it is hoped that incidents of this description will not be repeated.
COMMITTEE THANKED "In conclusion, gentlemen. very much appreciate the privilege or again' presiding at this annual meeting, and I wish to place on record my personal thanks to the outgoing Committee for thei: whole-hearted co-operation during

CHILDREN BARRED
The meeting was then opened for discussion, and Mr. Elliott pro- posed that children be barred from the club after 5 p.m. on week days und after 1 p.m. on Saturdays," with the committee to act as to their discretion on Sundays. The pro- poser sald that he thought this scheme afforded children ample use of the club without getting in anyone's way.
This proposal was seconded by Mr. A. B. Hamson, and was final- ly passed but not after a great deal of discussion had taken place.
Mr. Basa's amendment that only on Saturdays should children be barred the use of the club was de- feated when put to the vote. A further amendment that an age limit of 14 years be attached to the original proposal also was not accepted.
The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the outgoing com- mittee.
