The Captain (Miss Atkinson) occupied the chair, and fifteen members were present. Tho honorary Secretary (Miss Barker) read the annual report, whioh stated that the club was in a flourishing condition, tho past season having been very successful, both socially and financially. Eegret was expressed at the resignation of Mrs Horace Thompson, who had filled the position of captain since the inauguration of the club. The runs had nob been so well attended on account of the half-holiday not being universally observed on the same day. The "at homes" and dances had proved successful, and thanks were expressed to the Pioneer Bicycle Club and Christchurch Cycling Club for the coriial manner in which they had entertained the members of the Atalanta Club during the winter. As the number of lady cyclists in Christchurch had greatly increased during the paßt Beason, the committee expected that there would be an increase of members.
