Buntingford & District Musical Society
Annual General Meeting
The Season's Work
The annual general meeting of the Buntingford and District Musical Society was held at the Congregational Schoolroom on September 20.
Dr R.W. Fell, M.D., presided, and there was a good attendance of members.
Before the commencement of the business, the chairman said he would like to compliment the Society on its splendid success last season.
At the Letchworth Festival they had carried off two cups, two firsts and one second, which was a great honour. Personally he felt that it was a great honour to be president of such a Society.
In congratulating them on their past record, he also expressed the hope that their work in the coming season would reach an equally high standard.
1926-27 Season
The coming winter season was discussed, and it was decided to hold practices every Monday at 7 p.m. Members were also asked to enrol new members, tenors being especially required.
The Herts Musical Festival will be held at St Albans early next year, and any wishing to join the Society should obtain particulars from the Conductor (Mr E.E. Dennis), Mr H. Cutts, Mr A.G. Day, or Mr S. Daniels.
Election of Officers
The election of officers resulted as follows: President (Dr R.W. Fell, M.D.), re-elected; Hon. Sec. Mr H. Cutts; and Hon. Treasurer, Mr S. Daniels.
Mr E.E. Dennis was unanimously appointed conductor. The Chairman and Mr W.J. May referred in eloquent terms to the efficient way in which Mr Dennis had carried out his duties. He had brought the Society to its present high state of efficienct, and they did not known [sic] what they would do without him. (Applause).
Mr W.J. May, the late Hon. Treas., was reluctantly compelled to resign that post and as stated above Mr H. Cutts was appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr Dennis moved a vote of thanks be accorded Mr May for his valued services during the past. (Applause).
He (Mr Dennis) also thanked the officers and members for the way in which they had carried out their duties. The members had given their local and regular support. He hoped that the splendid keenest that had prevailed amongst them would continue.
Thanks were also accorded Miss M. Macklin for her great help at the piano last season.
Thanks
Before the meeting closed Mr Dennis moved a hearty vote of thanks to their President, Dr Fell.
Their President had always taken a deep interest in the Society, and it was a great pleasure to have him at their head. He hoped that the great interest Dr Fell took in all matters relating to the Society would continue. (Applause).
