Campbell; social committee, Messrs L. Thurlow, ; A. Blake, K. Civil, D. Cornwall; delegates, Messrs K. Simpson, D. Cornwall. j It was found the cost to purchase I sufficient gear to outfit the club j would be very high and an endeavour is being made to contact some i defunct club to try and, procure ! good second-hand gear.
