The following annual report was read and adopted without discussion: “The 1931 season opened on March 24 with a most successful open day. The season has been a most enjoyable one and financially successful.. W r e have enrolled 40 new members and few have resigned so that the membership is considerably increased. Several afternoons were held for beginners, also a lecturette by Mr. Johns which proved beneficial to all. “The annual tournament was held in perfect weather on May 12 and 13 and with record outside entries it was an outstanding success. Miss K. Robinson, Hawera, won the Taranaki championship, with Mrs. Guy Williams runnerup. Miss P. Wilson (Wellington) won the Waiwakaiho Handicap, with Mrs. J. C. Nicholson runner-up. Tnter-club matches were played against Hawera, Inglewood, Waitara and Stratford. The club championship was won by Mrs. W. B. Russell, the runner-up being Mrs. L. Curtis.

Wilson (nee Miss Dell) and the Blackley Cup by Miss McMullan. “The course has been in excellent order during the season and thanks are due to Mr. Johns and Mr. Sanders. Many handicaps have been reduced. A credit balance of £2O 5s 4d is carried forward. This is a considerable advance on last year’s (£7 18s lOd). The committee has decided to purchase a Taranaki championship cup with the profit from the itnnual tournament (£l3 13s). This coming season the ladies will have the satisfaction of seeing the lounge materialise after years of work and agitation.
