BALMACEWEN CLUB The annual meeting of the Balmaccwen Lawn Tennis Club was held on Monday night, when members were the guests of the president, Mr A. McMillan, in the Tudor Hall. Moving the adoption of the annual report and balance sheet, the president congratulated the club on a successful season, both financially and otherwise, and also the Intermediate Grade team on its success in winning the competition in this grade. In spite of the fact that, owing to war duties, the male membership had been almost halved, an increase in the number of lady members had enabled the club to maintain an income level little below that of former years, and, while further difficulties would have to be faced in the coming season, he forecast another successful year.
