The fund for improvements to buildings was increased by £45 from file proceeds of a dance, and other contributions and interest amounting to £94 17s 2ci brought tiie fund to £332 15s 9d.

Water For Greens The report added that expenditure had been incurred in exploration efforts for a satisfactory supply of water, and it was hoped that some benefit would start to accrue by the watering of new trees and new greens. During the past season a report was received from Mr. C. 11. Redhead suggesting schemes for improving the lay-out of the course, particularly at the third and fourth holes. Preparatory work had been carried out. Thanks were accorded to the ladies’ committee responsible for the undoubted success of the eatcrf.ig, to the green-keeper, Mr. R.
