ANNUAL MEETINGS

SEATOUN CLUB

The annual meeting of the Seatoun Lawn Tennis Club was held last week. Mr. R. P. Cooper presiding. There had been a fairly substantial decrease in membership, according to the report. The finances of the club were in a most unsatisfactory state, the j amount outstanding in subscriptions ■ being the highest for many years. It! was anticipated that most of the other outstanding amounts would be paid early in the new season. There was little activity during the season and at the close N. F. N. Bedford and Mrs. J. K. Smith occupied the top positions on the men's and women's ladders respectiyely. The activities of the various committees were reiiected in the receipt of £6 12s this year as compared with £24 lls 3d in 1936-37. Due to the lack of finance the committee had been unable to provide trophies for the various club events.
