Sixpenny Clothing Club

The annual meeting held on Thursday was presided over by Mrs Morrison, VicePresident, the president, Mrs Watson, having been granted leave of absence for about 12 months,, and there was a satisfactory attendance of members and those interested in the Club. The following annual report was read and adopted .— Tho demands on the Club have been rather heavy this year, but the generous help from subscriptions, together with the kind donations from various sources have enabled tho Club to supply all needs and leave a small balance to carry forward for the coming winter. There is a slight increase in tho total subscriptians but these still fall short and this handicaps the Club a good deal. An increase of collectors, your committee feel sure, would bring about a better financial state, thus enabling the Club to further the work.
