JANUARY 25th, 1906. 



ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 

 The President in the Chair. 



The first meeting was devoted to the business of the 

 Society. 



The Balance Sheet, which was read by the Auditors and 

 adopted by the meeting, was a very satisfactory one, show- 

 ing a substantial balance of £42 18s. 3d. 



Mr. Tutt, in proposing a vote of thanks to the Treasurer 

 for his services during the past year, said that he did so 

 with especial pleasure. During the time he had been a 

 member of the Society they had had but three treasurers — 

 Mr. Step, Mr. Adkin, and Mr. Hall — men of the highest 

 ability, whose sound business judgment had largely placed 

 them in the satisfactory position the Society held at the 

 present time. There was a great deal of work attached to 

 the Treasurer's position ; it was not those who regularly 

 attended the meetings who gave trouble and increased work, 

 but those who, from some cause or other, attended but 

 little — largely through thoughtlessness, no doubt, for " Evil 

 is wrought from want of thought as well as want of heart." 

 But still, the trouble and work were ever present to the 

 Treasurer when he accepted his onerous and honorary duties 

 from year to year. In Mr. Hall they had the utmost confi- 

 dence, and he had no doubt the meeting would show very 

 markedly its appreciation of the work he did for the 

 members. 



Mr. Montgomery seconded, and the motion was carried 

 unanimously. 



The Report of the Council (see p. xii) was read and 

 adopted by the meeting.
