Other items of income Were: Donation of surplus by the Christmas shopping committee, 18/6; gift from retailers’ association, £2 2/3; members’ subscriptions, £26 10/-, These items brought the total funds in hand to £92 19/11, and of this £BB 12/2 was in the bank.

The statement, Mr Thompson said, was not quite complete, but it was within £1 of being correct.

Mr Thompson suggested that about £4O be placed in the Post Office Savings Bank as a reserve fund in the name of two trustees, and that no part of this amount be withdrawn without a resolution by a general meeting. After some discussion, in which Mr R, Stewart mentioned the association s financial responsibility with regard to the motor camp, it was decided to deposit £75 in the savings bank under the conditions mentioned by the secretary, and the chairman and secretary were appointed trustees.
