ANNUAL MEETINGS

Mr. II. S. Rouse, retiring Commo- dore, said:
The sub-Committee formed under the chairmanship of Mr. Cock to deal with the question of the And- ing of another site, has gone into the matter carefully and the position to- day is that the transfer of the Club to Kellett Island is receiving con- sideration by Government. Repre- sentation has been made with regard to the term of lease and I believe we can be sure that it is fully un- derstood and will be sympatheticul- ly reviewed.
There has been #gain in sub- scriptions from members and sub-1 scribers of nearly $1,500, an index of the appeal which the nefivilies sponsored by our Club has for new arrivals.
Mr. Marshall, seconding, remarked that subscriptions should have been further increased as the extra re- venue would relieve the Club of any anxiety on the score of a new Club House and site.
