BOWLING CLUB’S ANNUAL MEETING ELECTION OF OFFICERS A full attendance of enthusiasts gathered at the County Council Chambers last Wednesday evening for the Annual General Meeting of the Whakatane Bowling Club. General business discussed included a number of matters connected with the club, and particularly the greens, and the President's (Mr W. S. Henderson) report gave an excellent review of the year’s progress. A subject which aroused considerable discussion was the matter of the raising of the subscription rates by 15/- per annum. A decision was reached that such increase should come into force, making the subscription for members £4 10/-, and first year players £2 15/-. A full discussion also took place on the findings of Mr T. Stringer, the Auckland Green Expert, who paid a recent visit to Whakatane, and it was generally agreed that the club had benefitted- by much useful advice..
