The annual report showed a record membership of 171. Several successful social functions had been held, including a debutantes' ball and a garden fete.

He presented Miss Wilson with a basket of flowers and fruit and also bouquets to the Misses Vyner, Clachan, and Hoby, who had returned from Europe.
