Polilen said that taking everything into consideration members had every reason to be. satisfied. The extremely unfavourable weather conditions prevailing throughout the province just before and during the period of the meeting had a detrimental effect on Hie attendance. Given fine weather the meeting would not have fallen far short of the previous record year. The farm account revealed a record profit of £640.
