HUTT VALLEY SOCIETY
The thirty-fifth annual report of the Hutt Valley Horticultural Society expresses the loss .the society sustained last year in the deaths of Mr. R. N. Wall, who was a life member, Mr. O. S. Watkins, a vice-president, and Mr. J.W. Thomson, a keen daffodil grower; also Mesdames W. R. Hufton and L. Bolter and Mr. L. Dwan, supporters of the society. During the year Mr. W. Copping, a member of the executive, had left the district.
The society's ball had proved an asset to the community, and as lettings increased the financial burden would be lighter. The ball account showed that the receipts had to be assisted from the. general fund by about £100. Shows had been somewhat disorganised by the extraordinary season."
The "garden circle" had proved a great asset and now: had a membership of 105. Nine talks on horticulture and several outdoor demonstrations had been held.
The report congratulated Mr. H. J. Poole on being awarded the Peter Barr Memorial Cup.
The receipts for the year, were £473 3s 8d and expenditure £467 ls 7d.
Subscriptions had come in more freely than in the past year, £167 14s in current subscriptions being received as against £143 18s the previous year.
The balance of assets over liabilities was £1297 4s 9d
