Women's Conservative Association
Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting of the Women's Branch of the Conservative Association was held in the George Assembly Room, Buntingford, a 6.30 p.m., on Friday, November 19th.
The President (Lady Heaton-Ellis) was present, also Mrs Williams (as Chairman), Mrs Dimsdale (the Vice-President), Mrs Baker (the hon. treasurer), and also the hon. secretary. There were over 100 members of the Association present.
The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and confirmed.
The hon. secretary's report was read, which showed the meetings had been well attended, as also had the Committee meetings.
The number of members on the books up to the end of October, 1926, was 244, which, in spite of removals and resignations, showed an increase of 26 members on last year's total.
A financial report was read by Mrs Baker, showing a small balance in hand.
Mrs Howard proposed, and Mrs Henry May seconded, that the officers be re-elected en bloc.
This was carried unanimously.
New names were added to the Committee, proposed by the hon. secretary and seconded by the hon. treasurer.
Mrs Howard, of Watford House, Westmill, gave a most excellent address on the danger of apathy on the part of women voters, and emphasised the responsibility that the vote had given to women.
There was an exhibition and sale of goods sent by members for the Buntingford stall at the Hitchin Fete, and the hon. sec. would like to take this opportunity of thanking all in the villages who have so generously contributed.
Tea was served most expeditiously by Mrs Thody and a band of helpers.
