The club to have the right to remove at any time any buildings they may erect or improvements they may make on the property. 2. Assuming that the club accepts Mr Taylor's terms, the Provisional Committee estimate that the necessary expenditure for the first year will amount to £45, and they recommend that the entrance fee be fixed at 10s 6d and the subscription at 10s 6d, together one guinea for the first year and thereafter half-a-guinea.
