NEW CLUB HOUSE

Necessity Stressed At K.F.C. Annual Meeting

TRIBUTE TO MR. T.A. MITCHELL: MR. R. LAPSLEY ELECTED

LIFE

MEMBER

"For many years, the necessity for building a new Club House, or at least putting the present orie in good order and condition, has 'been apparent, but owing to lack of funds and also perhaps a Little lack of interest in the Club, the matter has been postponed from time to time, and only argent repairs have been carried out. The time has now come when something must be done about it." remarked, Major C. M. Manners, Vice-President, when he presided at the 23rd annual general meeting of the Kowloon Football Club yes- terday, in the absence of Mr. T. A. Mitchell (President) who was Indisposed.

Mr. T. A. Mitchell

Addressing the Chairman said:-

You will note the sum of $400 has been written off as final de- preciation on the Tennis Court, which has disappeared to make room for the bowling green. The latter as you must agree is a fine asset to the Club, and its splendid condition is very largely due to the fatherly interest of our Chairman. The cost of laying the green was. met by several members of the Club by gift or loan, and the best way we can show our appreciation is to rally round and make it popular.

We thank our Hon. Treasurer, for the hard and efficient work he has done during the year. A good Treasurer is not always tão popular, except at the end of a prosperous year when he can produce an agreeable balance sheet; this Mr. White has done without I hope making himself too unpopular.

The results of the activities of our Football teams are set out in the report, and although we are not doing so well as we did. say about ten years ago, we have the makings of two excellent teams and hope to give some of our friendly rivals a series of surprises hext season."
