RAWHITIROA GOLF CLUB

MEMBERS’ ANNUAL MEETING. SUCCESSFUL YEAR REPORTED. The third annual meeting of the Eawhitiroa Golf Club was held on Tuesday night, Mr B. Robertson presiding over a good attendance of members and intending members. The report presented showed that another successful year was held, the finances showing a small profit, there being in hand £3 18s 7d, against £2 6s carried over the previous season. There was a falling off of members last season, but the increased subscription more than counter-balanced the fall of membership. A few inter-club matches were arranged, and competition matches were played. The annual ball, although a success socially, was not so financially. A competition sponsored by the club captain, vicecaptain and secretary netted £3 4s 6d, a midiron offered being won by Mr T. Fountaine, Eltliani. F. Cave won the senior championship and E. Tipler the junior. The runnersup were D .Knuckey and S. Knuckey respectively. The women champions w r ere Miss E. Belcher (senior) and Mrs F. Gave (junior) and the runners-up were Mrs D. Knuckey and Mrs H. Belcher.

Smith, was thanked for the capable manner he did his work, while all trophy donors were also thanked. Special thanks were given to the ladies for their efforts.
