ANNUAL GENERAL

Hong

MEETING

Kong Polo Club

The Annual General Meeting of the Hong Kong Polo Club took place on Tuesday, June 2 at the Board Room of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd., with Brigadier H. G. Seth Smith in the chair and supported by the following:-D. L Newbiggin (Hoh, Secretary), Major J. C. Currie, R.A., W. T. Stanton, L, J. Fielden. Captain G. B. Portman, R.A, Captain G. S. Frizelle and R. Butcher.

The Chairman sald:—

As it is now past the time for which this meeting is called I shall aak the Hon. Secretary to read the notice convening this meeting.

The notice was then read and the Chairman continued.

It is a pleasure to be able to record after an examination of the accounts now before you that the forecast for a better year made at the last annual general meeting has been justified.

Income and expenditure account shows that we have closed the year with a small loss of $2.75 which is a handsome Improvement on last year's defielt on working of $1,318.87.

This result I am glad to say is not due solely to a further de- crease in expenditure but also to an Increase in revenue amounting to S889.15 which includes the sum of $150 previously held against outstanding unclaimed debentures now taken into the club's account.

would also thank Lt. Ropes and Captain Portman, for their ener getic assistance in arrangements made for the jumping events.

The duties of Field Manager this year have been taken over from Captain Portman, R.A. by Lieut. Parker Jervis and I think our thanks are due to these two gen- tlemen the one for a thankless task well done the other for so gener- ously subjecting himself to the probably criticism of unsatisfied players whom I might add are themselves occasionally at fault by falling to warn in or turn up in time for the chukkas requested.

I now beg to propose the adop- tion of the report and accounts as presented and shall be glad if someone will second the motion.

The motion was seconded by Major 3. C. Currie R.A.

OFFICERS ELECTED

The Chaltman: ----- Before putting the motion to the vote I shall be pleased to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

No questions were forthcoming and the Chairman proceeded to election of officers and suggested that the following be elected "en aloe" provided members had no alternative proposals.

You have before you a compari- sor with last year's figures which leaves little need for any further explanation but I would draw your attention to the credit side where the sum of $500 appears under Rents Receivable. This is the amount due to us by the Army Area Sports Board for the use of winter during the ground our months, an arrangement finally concluded last Autumn and men- tioned as being under considera- | China.

last annual general tion at our meeting.

Profits in all cases show some improvement and General Main- tenance costs are down by no less that $887.43 due to the reductions shown and the absence of inter- port and Causeway Bay Pavilion expenses.

Stable account closes with a loss. This being a matshed building it was considered advisable to write It down to half its cost.

Depreciation on furniture tures, etc. has been dealt with as usual.

of policy economy must be continued if the club is to achieve a liquid cash position which will enable various ground and other improvements to be carried out which your com- mittee has in mind.

So much for the accounts which I hope you will consider satisfac- tory as with prospects of a good season ahead of us and by con- tinued economy It is hoped to see the Club put on a paying basis.

last Tournaments

year were keenly contested but it is con- sidered that members will have a better opportunity for match play if these are now carried out on the American principle. This has now been adopted in all cases ex- cept the KOYLI Cup and in ad- dition another tournament has been placed on the programme for sides in which no member with a handicap, over 2 goals may com pete. It is hoped thus to provide inexperienced players with an ac- tive interest in match play without interfering with tournaments ar- rarged for those of higher handicaps.

Á very keen Baal for the KOYLI Cup was played in October last when the Royal Artillery

once again at home to friends and members, which hospitality was greatly appreciated by the large number of spectators. This match resulted in a well deserved win for the R.A. after having on several the previous occasions reached final only to lose the match by a narrow margin,
