Hold Annual Meeting

A

The annual general meeting ....of. the Kowloon Bowling "Green "Club was held at the Club's premises at King's Park yesterday, when Mr. B. Wylie presided over farge gathering. Commenting on the past year's activities, the Chairman said: "When the his- tory of the Club is written, last year shall have a special signifi- cance, in that it will mark the definite onset of the glacial period. In that connection, our heartlest thanks are due to those members who designed and carried out the construction of the cooling plant." The Report

The general committee reported, in part, that "the trade depression at present affecting the Colony is reflected in our Working Account for the year. Bar Sales are dowit by nearly fifteen hundred dollars compared with 1933, and Scbscrip- tions also show a fall of some four hundred dollars, Under the loss the small circumstances

the year's shown of $148.65 on working is considered to be quite satisfactory. The Club's proper- ties have been very fully depre- clated. $1.520.00 being written off under this head."

Such badges. he said, were at the most critical of physical, being used by certain Clubs in England, and in the present case would help members who should leave the Colony to remember the happy times spent in their own Club here. Mr. Hoskings proposal was approved by the meeting, and the task of creating a suitable badge for the Club was left to the incoming committee.

The question of extending the Club's closing hour was niso dis cussed, and resulted in the hour of 12 midnight being fixed.
