Leigh and P Goile, Mr Gibbs moved a motion of sympathy with Mr E. F. Hemingway in liia recent family bereavement and also with the family of the late Mr Amon, of the pioneers of the Alton district. On the motion of Mr Illingworth, seconded by Mr Gibbs, it was resolved that Mr Hodge -and Mr A* Sadler (headmaster) be appointed delegates to the Boys and Girls’ Club group at Waverley.
