It is with feelings of regret that your Committee announces the 

 retirement of the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. Henry Morland. For 

 seven years Mr. Morland has managed the financial affairs of the 

 Club with the most methodical care, and it is no small tribute to 

 his ability as Treasurer that he leaves the Club in a sounder 

 financial position than it has occupied at any previous time in its 

 history, although the expenditure during his term of office has 

 been largely affected by the increase in the Club's rental. On 

 behalf of all the members the Committee beg to tender him its 

 most sincere thanks for his long-continued and valuable services. 



Mr. F. J. Perks, who since he joined the Club has taken an 

 active interest in all its proceedings, has kindly consented to take 

 over the treasurership, and the Committee congratulate the 

 members on having secured the services of such an energetic 

 successor to Mr. Morland. 



The Committee also announces with regret the resignation of 

 the Hon. Secretary, Mr. A. Earland, who finds himself unable to 

 devote sufficient time to the heavy duties attendant on the office. 

 He will be succeeded by Mr. W. B. Stokes, whose record as an 

 energetic participant in the debates at meetings of the Club, and 

 services on former committees, will ensure him the support of all 

 the members. 



In conclusion, the Committee desires to thank all the Officers for 

 the zeal and energy with which they have conducted the affairs 

 •of the Club.
