Owing to the inability of three members to attend meetings and duties, a change was made in the constitution of the committee. One delegate, Mr. N. S. Cossey, was elected to the executive of the Auckland Rowing Association. The finances disclose a credit balance of £61 19/2 The committee has provided for depreciation on the building, furniture, fittings, and plant In the usual manner.
