THE SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FOXTON AMATEUR DRAMATIC CLUB. The committee in submitting' this the second annual report and balance sheet of the club have much pleasure in congratulating the members on the progress and general success during the past year. Since our last annual meeting our already small list of members has been further reduced by several leaving the district and we would impress upon the club the necessity 1 of enrolling new members, 1 as it is impossible with our present strength io perform any but the smallest forces. , ■ In the past twelve months the club have given four performances namely, " Snowed In " (tit Sanion),

" Bejj of Rose's "and « Borrowed Plumes" and "Just my Luck," 1 (the last piece was played twice, anil each, in every case^was financially a success. " iv Early in the "year the office of stageinanager was rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr H. Woodhanvthe services- of such an" officer have been much missed. . YthMpmmi6te¥ degirtifeiptabb^on record the great assistance rendered to the club by Mr Young in painting scenery for f« Snowed In" and the " Bed of Eoses," also the energetic manner in which the ladies took up the parts alloted to them. In conclusion the committee would point out the great disvantage. the clubjabours .uncler 44 ha^itf-il perform, in a'hallVo aesiituteofscVnery and would suggest that a certain percentage be' deducted off the gross proceeds of all performances for the purchase of scenery and property.
