Cauldwell) presiding. A stretcher and first aid kit were received from the St. John Ambulance Association for use in the pavilion, which is a stretcher depot. A motion of thanks was passed. The club received a letter of appreciation from the parent of a boy under 16 years of age who was an honorary member of the club. Ten new members were elected, and the secretary (Mr L, W.

Smith was appointed secretary during the absence of Mr Clarkson, who is spending a holiday in Australia.
