[Transcriber note - I'm not going to try to recreate the table here, see the original image if you're interested in the figures.]
The balance sheet was adopted, the Chairman remarking on the satisfactory position and congratulating the members on their work during the past year. He also impressed upon them the importance of practising every day.
The hon. secretary said they all appreciated the Chairman's remarks. The members felt that they were now on a good footing; they had that day received a cheque for £5 from Captain and Mrs Williams to start the 1928 season. (Applause)
