MANAIA BOWLING CLUB. PAST SEASON REVIEWED. ELECTION OF NEW OFFICERS. The annual meeting of the Manaiai Bowling Club was held on Wednesday, Mr. J. Hickey presiding. The report etat'ed: — The season just ended proved a pleasant one, although the enthusiasm of members was hardly as keen as it could have been, caused probably through members not having the usual leisure time to devote to the game. Ac in the past, several friendly •game® were played with neighbouring clubs. The club was fortunate to be able to entertain rinks from both the Auckland touring teams, and all these visits were instrumental in creating interest. Cliib competitions were played in a lesser degree this year. Mr. T. Johnson, in winning the singles championship and subsequently in playing in the final in. the centre play-off, is to be congratulated upon his performances. A rink skipped by Mr. A. Andrews won the Hawken challenge stars, but were not able to withstand the challenges received. Mr. ■ Andrews also skipped a rink competing in the Hawera Easter tournament and put up a creditable performance. The financial statement reveals a satisfactory position. The receipts exceeded expenditure by almost £lO, and when outstanding subscriptions are added and the sundry accounts owing are paid, the balance of receipts over expenditure will be over £2O. The bank debit balance at the commencement of the season was £74, and at the moment is £64. When all accounts are finalised the bank balance should be reduced to about £54. Assets are valued at £212 over liabilities. The' membership now stands at 30 active and four honorary members. The thanks of the club are extended to those ladies who undertook the supervision of the afternoon tea arrangements for all matches, to the Press for the publicity given to the club’s affairs; to the green warden and the green keeper for their close attention to the green;' to Mr. T. Johnson and Mr. A. G. Bennett for the use of their rooms for committee and other meetings. The following officers were elected:— Patron, Mr. A. G. Bennett; president, Mr. N. C. Innes; vice-president, Mr. A. Andrews; secretary, Mr. W. R. Spooner; executive committee, Messrs. J. Hickey, A. Andrews, G. R. Watts, E. J. Massey, W. H. Robinson, J. Christie and J. J.
