After supper , the president of the club. Mr E. Moore, presented the medals donated by . Messrs Monk a,nd Harold to F. Fitch for the most consistent forward, during the season, and A. Flatt with a medal donated by Mr G. S. Taiboys for tjhe most consistent junior player, in returning thanks to the donors of the medals the president said he hoped that possibly next season the club would be more successful than it had been last season. On behalf of the club he thanked the ladies for the work they had done in connection with the social. The club was particularly fortjunate in having a good and energetic secretary, and he - ' took the oppqrtunity to express the club’s thanks to Mr C. H.
