The hon, secretary, Mr. R. A. D. Forrest, in presenting the report and accounts sold:

For the year 1925 there were on the books of the local branch the names of 49 members. Or these one has so far failed to renew his subscription for the current year and three have left the district. As against this the new members who have so far joined our ranks for the year 1926 total 36, so that we have 81 members, an increase of 33," or just over 65% as compared with last year. It is not impossible that this figure will be further in- creased in the course of the year.
