Protest At Club Meeting

(Continned from Page 1)

Addressing the meeting. tr., for winning the Rosselet said: ---

Before proceeding with the busi- ness of the meeting. I desire on behalf of this Club to express sym- pathy with the relatives of the late Mr. A. F. L. Maginnis, who passed away during the year, and to his mark of respect 跟 memory, I would ask you to rise and remain standing for a brief moment

DS

Your Committee feel gratified at being able to come before you co- day with a Report and Statement of Accounts

which

compare so favourably with the previous year. Having regard to the difficulties encountered during the year under review, coupled with the prevailing hard times through which we are passing. and which naturally affected the spending power of members generally, I venture express the opinion that you will consider the results achieved as highly satisfactory.

to

Bearing in mind the fact that we had an up-to-date refrigerator installed towards the end of last year, which was paid for in cash out of earnings, you will realise that the Bar has done remarkably well. Our Bar Convener, Mr. J. 9. Landolt, has been untiring in at efforts in running the Bar, and for the fine results accomplished. we are Indebted to him and the other members of the Bar Sub-Commit- tee. I feel sure you will join me in giving expression to a vote of thanks to them for their work on behalf of the Club (Applause).

LIGHTING INCREASE.

On looking through the At- counts, you will find that the cost o Ligung has gone up, but not to such an extent as to cause any alarm, when it is remembered that the refrigerator consumes a great deal of current, and this was more summer pronounced during the months. Our fortnightly Whist Drives take up a portion of the amount expended, but this was more than offset by the profits which accrued from such func- tions.

Club's Singles Championship, I extend. hearty congratulations (Applause),

Our Tennis section has also done remarkably well, and it is a matter ei satisfaction to be able to re- cord that our "D" team won the "D" Division of the Tennis League.

This Club is indeed fortunate in finding such members who are pre- pared to sacrifice their spare time in catering to. the entertainment of their fellow members and visitors Curing .our fortnightly Whist Drives, incidentally bringing in additional revenue to the Club. To these gentlemen: and others too numerous to mention, I would ask you to join me in passing a flearty vote of thanks. (Applause),

In conclusion. I desire to place on record my appreciation of the services rendered by various off-
