There was a good attendance of young farmers and others interested in the formation of a Bunnythorpe branch at a meeting held in the sports pjavilion. Mr J. Linklater was elected to the chair.

Galpin, who had arranged the meeting, gave an outline of the objects of the movement and mentioned some of the advantages enjoyed by members. Some social organisation was required for young men between the ages of 16 and 25 years, being out of town. Mr C. J Hamblyn spoke on the New Zealand organisation and amongst other things stressed the necessity for the support of the chairman and secretary, both in attendance at meetings and any other projects decided upon by the club. Much more could be done by cooperation than by any other way. Mr G.' S. Robinson also spoke on the advantages to be gained by members of the club.
