He said the club was particularly fortunate in having Mr. Edwards' services, as he was always prominent so far as the work was concerned, but did not often have time to take part in the play when inter-club fixtures were being staged. It was moved as a recommendation to the incoming committee that his honorarium be reviewed if possible.
