President remarked that though it seemed somewhat late to do so, he would like to thank the mem bera for electing him President of the Club during the past year, Ho had been elected President towards the end of the season, and having been away part of the year this was the first opportunity he had had of thanking members.

Continuing, the President said that as he had been absent for the greater part of the year, and there fare it was very difficult for him to say much about the Club, except what he had read and which would be better known to members than
