The Committee reported that the material for the wicket had been carted and with a little work the ground should be fit to play on by Saturday, October 29th. The Secretary stat.-d the financial position of the Club was fairly satisfactory, there being a sufficient amount in hand to meet current liabilities, while the subscriptions promised would suffice to meet practically the whole expense incurred in laying down the wicket and purchasing the material. Several new members were enrolled, and additional subscriptions to the amount of four guineas were received. It was decided to open the season on Saturday next, with a match between married and single.
