WAIMATE LIQUOR AT SHOW

Reason For Member’s Resignation Majority Decision Mr E. J. Meredith, of Morven, forwarded his resignation to the meeting of the committe of the Waimate A. and P. Association yesterday afternoon on the grounds that liquor was on sale at the show. The president <Mr E. G. Hay) was deputed to interview Mr Meredith. Mr R. Sinclair commented that he had been opposed to liquor at the show, but he believed in democratic rule. “We were beaten.” he said, "and had to accept the rule of the majority. If Mr Meredith is not prepared to accept the decision, we will have to agree to his resignation.” An offer from Mr R. Fortune to give a demonstration with collie dogs at the show, was accented.
