L.R.C. INCORPORATION

the

At the annual meeting of Ladies Recreation Club yesterday, a proposat was passed to incorporate the Club.

The meeting was presided by Mrs. N. Mathieson, President, assisted by Mrs. G. White (Secretary), and Mrs. G. K. Oliver (Treasurer).

In her report Mrs. Mathieson said: Membership increased during the year by 52.

The cost of making good the damage causexi by the typhoon, $1.490, has been charged direct to the Reserve Account.

of the The continued popularity two sand courts is a source of calls- faction as it proves that the construc- lion of the second one has met with suggested approval. It has been that a third court should be made, but apart from other considerations which arise I am afraid that this will not be possible in the Immediate future, at least until the cost of the last one is out of the accounts.

We have spent rather more than usual on the garden this year, but I am sure members must have noticed the fine display of flowers which has done so much to brighten and beautify the Club grounds and will agree that the money has been well spent.

You are probably aware that, an ot present constituted we have no definite legal status. Incorporation will give the Club a separate entity quite apart from the members com- posing it. It will work according to a legally recognized set of rules und in all respects will be easier 30 handle. The Club property will be registered in the Club's name Instead of being held in the names of Trustees, thereby obviating the necessity of getting into touch with them whenever any question aricos -concerning the Club property. In the past, this has involved com- municating with nominees at Home who have retired or were on leave.

We have no doubt you will agreo to incorporating the Club at this meeting, after which another formal meeting will be held to adopt the new Constitution.

Members unanimously agreed that the Club be incorporated,

The following were elected to the general committon, Mesdames, Mathieson, Martin. Ollver, Prophet,
