whom have worked with devotion to duty, and in harmony with all. 
I regret that our Treasurer, Mr. Nicholson, has felt obliged to resign his 
office, and I am sure our best thanks are due to him for the long 
period that he has held the post, and for the tact and business-like 
habits which he has always shown. Although we are all sorry to part 
with him as Treasurer, I am glad to say that his services are still 
retained on the Council. In our new Treasurer, Mr. C. P. Pickett, 
who is well known to all of us, I am convinced the Society has made 
a happy choice. 
Finally I have most sincerely to thank the members on behalf of 
myself. First in overlooking my short comings during the past year, 
and secondly, for the honour they have done me in re-electing me as 
their President. It is needless to say that my best wishes are with the 
Society and I trust that during the coming year, at any rate, we shall 
see no backward movement.
