ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the Nelson Luncheon Club was held at the Ritz tearooms recently. It took the form of an evening meal and general business, after which club members attended a picture entertainment. Th e president, Mr I. S.

It had no elaborate aims and no ambitious programmes* but existed for the furtherance of friendly relations between members. Mr Gardiner said that his impending departure for Australia would mean that he would have to sever his connection with the club, where he had spent very many pleasant hours during the year.

Cameron; hon. auditor, Mr W. R. P. Jaques.

Neale, on behalf of the club, presented the retiring president with a set of silver afternoon tea forks, asking the recipient to accept the gift as a small memento of his association with me Club he had done so much for, and which was very sorry he was going away.
