SMALL INCREASE

SUBSCRIPTION SCALE P.B. GOLF CLUB FEES ■ Members of the Poverty Bay Golf Club registered the best attendance for some years at the annual meeting held on Monday night, where a notice of motion affecting the subscription scale was one of the main topics of discussion. The meeting was presided over by Mr G. W. Willock, retiring club captain, and there were about 60 members present. _ The committee's recommendation that the meeting should consider a higher scale of subscriptions, to meet the additional costs of maintaining and administering the facilities offered by the club, resulted in a fairly spirited debate, in the course of which several speakers registered their strong conviction that an increase in membership was the more urgent need of the club, and moreover, would provide the increase in membership revenue sought by the committee. • . This group was able to make its views prevail in the meeting and was not opposed by the committee, on whose behalf it was pointed out that the notice of motion was planned to enliven interest in the financial requirements of the club. Eventually the meeting agreed upon a slight increase in the scale or subscriptions to cover certain particular services rendered by the club.
