With regard to (1), you may remember the club was intended as a place where Police Reservists could meet, and get to know each other better socially. It has however, in this respect. not been the success that was anticipated, and at the present moment the chief source of venue is from Honorary members.

During the active period of Police Beserve services the Club was constantly used for lectures, meetings and fastruc- tion class, but the duties of the Reserve have been reduced and the necessity for such a large Headquarters no longer zxist.

It has been urged that a number of members

There is no reason why those members and non-members should not do so, but it could not, of course, be a Police Reserve Club in the sense that the present one is: it would be more or less in the nature of a private enterprise. Some sort of a limited liability company, which, I honestly think, would be & failure Subscriptions are the most elusive things

In connection with the last cricket eason, come interesting presentations were made, at the Royal Artillery Head- quarters, Victoria Barracks on Wednes day.

It was hoped to defer this ceremony until the league trophies won by the team were presented, but, as some of the coe bers are leaving, the Colony shortly, this was not practicable.
