He asked them to each bring along two new members,, for now that the Club had taken over the new courts an increase in the membership could be allowed. Regarding the new courts, he earnestly asked that the members make a concerted effort to have the preparation done within a month or six weeks. This could only be done by all the members taking a hand instead of leaving the work to a few to do.
