FORTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT. 119 



of Mr. W. B. Stokes as Secretary of the Club, and in so doing 

 desire to express their hearty thanks to Mr. Stokes for his 

 valuable services." 



Your Committee sees nothing to prevent the Club maintaining 

 its traditional usefulness. There is no question as to the need 

 of such an institution ; but there is need to remind members 

 of the importance of the Club being all it seems to be to the 

 new-comer, and not a cause of disappointment. The latter 

 condition need never obtain if the dual role of the Club be 

 maintained, presenting an effective means of publicity for the 

 specialist and a help to the less experienced amateur.
