The primary object. last even- ing's meeting was to receive a report of the Presentation Night sub-com- mittee and a financial statement con- cerning that function.
Rev. J. R. Higgs was in the chair, supported by Mr. Eza Abraham and Mr. E. M. Raymond (vice-Presidenta), Mr. F. H. Kwok (hon. treasurer) and club representatives,
Mr. S. A. Gray (convener) pre- senied the sub-committee's report in. dienting bow the Presentation Night was arranged, and Mr. Kwok, in his Bnancial talement, revealed that after deducting all expenses, the evening resulted in A net profit of $20. So far as the whole reason was concerned there was a credit balance to the Association of over $180, which included last year's balance of thirty odd dollare. Both reports and accounts were adopted.
It was brought to the notice of the meeting that in impression had been gained by the Shanghai Press that Eliot Hall's visit there at Easter was an official Interport. The chairman
emphasised that this was incorrect. Eliot Hall merely accepted an invita- tion to play in Shanghai while present on an educational visit, the matches in no way being sponsored by the Hongkong Badminton Association.
The only other formal business of the meeting was to appoint Mr. S. A. Gray an acting hon. secretary in suc cession to Mr. L. D. Skinner, who is shortly leaving the Colony on furlough.
