The following committees were appointed : —Ground —Messrs Baker, Taylor, Whyte, E. Ferris, and D. Bee (convener); Match —Messrs Martin (convener), Taylor, I). Miller, Mackay, D. Bee ; Delegates to Centre —Messrs Miller and Mackay.

The following ladies were asked to assist: —Misses Miller, Mollison, Familton, and Martin. Seven new members/ were elected to the Club. Hearty votes of thanks were passed to the. retiring President and officebearers, also to Mr Norman Lane permission to utilise the path through his ground to bowling green.
