The amendments were fully explained and met with the hearty approval of the meeting. The secretary presented a draft of the annual report and balance sheet, which were approved, the balance sheet showing the finances of the union to be in a very healthy state. Recommendations. Tabled at the last meeting of the committee at the end of the playing season the secretary w T as instructed to advertise with the annual meeting noi. e the notice of motion that the number of vice-presidents this year bo limited to three, and that they have a vote on the management committee.

It was also decided to recommend to the incoming management committee, that in view of the heavy calls upon ths union’s insurance scheme last season, the table of payments be on a slightly lighter scale. It was suggested that the number of weeks for which an injured player may claim £2 per week be shortened, and that the table be on the basis of £2 a week for so many weeks and £1 a w r eek for the balance.

Under the existing rules the union pays an insured player totally incapacitated £2 a week for eight weeks. Annual Meeting Procedure.
