Total, 169; this being a decrease of ten on the numbers

Mr. Carlton and Mr. Stuart, twenty-four resignations 
were received with regret and seventeen new members 
were elected. 
This year actually extended to eighteen months 
owing to the alteration of the date for the Annual Meet-

was agreed to and the Council was asked to carry on for 
this longer period. 
Early this Club year Mr. K. Harley felt unable to 
carry on as Hon. Secretary and resigned the posi-

of the year and Mr. Squire was appointed to the vacant 
Council position.

surer early in 1952 and Miss K. Strong was later 
appointed to fill this vacancy.
