The subscription was fixed the same as last year, and the matter of the ladies’ club’s contribution was left to the committee. The secretary, Mr Wilson, was voted an honorarium of £5/5/-, and a free subscription for the work carried out during the last year. The question of a raised ridge ound the edge of holes was discussed, and the matter was referred to the committee to look into. Mr Grut contended that the rules should be amended so that a player whose ball was in the cut drain in the water should be able to move it without penalty. The meeting considered it was a question to be considered by the committee to whom it was referred. Recommendations were carried that the outerboards line for No. 2 hole should be more clearly defined, that a ball within striking distance of a single tree enclosure be allowed to be moved without penalty. The continuance of the match competition was approved, the competition to be of five rounds, and those forfeiting without the consent of the match committee to be eliminated. The handicap committee was appointed the match committee. Mr Sawell suggested the institution of a four-ball knock-out, players to play on the handicap as it stood on the occasion of each match.—The suggestion was approved. M L. A. Holden proposed a ringer competition for the coming season, a~d this was agreed to. On the suggestion of Mr Sawell it wes decided to institute weekly summer competitions, any player to have the right to put in any number of cards at a cost of 6d each. Votes of thanks were passed to the Ladies’ Club, the retiring president, and other officers, the auditor, and the Press. Official Closing of Season.
