Robinson were present as representatives of the hall trustees to explain why the Social Committee had been charged for the hall at a higher rate than is customary. On retiring they were accorded a vote of thanks for attending.

The treasurer, Mr F. R. Wilks, presented a balance-sheet which showed that the New Year's Day dance had been a very profitable one. After a long discussion, it was agreed to call a meeting of ail clubs and committees in the district to discuss the advisability of co-operating with the hall trustees in raising sufficient money to liquidate the debt on the hall and make much needed improvements to the supper room and cloak rooms. T t was decided to have an open meeting in order that all interested be given the opportunity of being present.

Messrs G. Crotty, J. Gale and F. R. Wilks were elected trustees of the Children's Christmas Party Fund. On the motion of Mr N. Gale and Mr J. Gale it was decided to vote 10/to the Hall funds.

Mr G. Crotty on behalf of the residents thanked those responsible for organising the dance to raise funds for the Christmas party.

On the motion of Mr Wilks it was decided to thank the hall trustees for the free use of the hall for the meeting and for abandoning their New Year's Day dance in favour of the residents’ dance.
