Sauer; secretary, Mrs. M. Barltrop (subject to her consent). The retiring treasurer and secretary, Mesdames N. M. Ingram and R. M. Goldfinch, who did not seek re-election, were presented with lovely sprays, also the president. A vote of thanks to Mrs. Dowrick for doing all the floral decorations during the year was carried by hearty acclamation. A motion to grant £5 each to the secretary and treasurer, this to be effective Ztrr last year, was carried unanimously, but both Mrs. Goldfinch and Mrs. Ingram donated the amount back to the funds.
