The 6um of £3 was voted to tho community chest. The next meeting being the annual meeting, it was decided to make it a social afternoon, and to conduct a "bring and buy” stall. Members of the Ladies’ Hockey Club and friends to the number of about seventy tendered Miss Bessio Wicks a kitchen evening in Clifton Hall oil Friday last, and an enjoyable timo was spent with music, dancing and games, those contributing the musical programme including Misses Kearney and Simpkin, Mrs Butler (piano), Mr Butler, Mr McKinnon (violin), Misses Kirkwood and Wicks, and Messrs Burtt and Sanson (3). Miss Cooper, on behalf of the Hockey Club, wished Miss Wicks happiness in her married life, and Mr Sanson suitably responded. The annual general meeting of the Bulls Football Club was held on Tuesday evening, the president (Mr E. A. Caldow) presiding over an attendance of over sixty players and supporters. Proceedings were most enthusiastic, and it was decided to enter senior, junior and third grade teams in the Rangitikei sub-union’s competitions. Doubts were expressed as to whether Bulls could field a senior fifteen, but after a discussion it was decided to do so. Junior and third grade players appear to be numerous, and a successful season is anticipated. The annual report road was as follows: —"The senior team commenced very well by winning the Bailey Cup, and were also leading in the competition at the end of the first round, but during the latter part of the season failed to kvo up to their earlier form. The junior team had some very close games, apd at times gave bright exhibitions, and they are to be commended for the splendid manner in which they kept together. For the first timo for many years the club was able tp field a fourth grade team, and they did particularly well, having to play off with Marlon Old Boys for the final. The committee desire to place on record tho valuable services rendered by Mr 11. 11. C. Holland for his coaching of the fourth grade team. From tho senior and junior teams several players were selected for representative honours, and we trust that in the coming season tho form of the playere will warrant the various selectors again requiring their services. Wo regret to record the death of ono of our .oldest and keenest supporters, Mr Alfred Green. During the year a special general meeting of the club was called for the purpose of having a standard set of rules set up, and copies of these are now in the hands of the secretary. Wo are pleased to report that the finances of the club are exceptional y sound. Wo again had our annual ball, which was a success, not only financially, but in the able manner everyone concerned carried out their duties to place tho ball on a: very high level. The success of the ball was to a very largo extent due to the cooperation and organisation of tile ladies. We feel sure that no other body holding a ball could havo bad greater help from the ladios than we did, and we desire to thank them most sincerely for their efforts In conclusion I desire to thank tho officers of the club for their splendid assistance throughout the year, and am certain that with tho same goodwill displayed during the coming season as m the past t ie welfare of the club will be assured. The secretory (Mr F. Cutts) presented the balance-sheet for tho past year, which showed that the club was in a sound financial position.
