Apart from this there was £53 at fixed deposit in the Post Office Saving Bank. As no money would be wanted until the end of next year it would be a good proposition for the Club to take up a New Zealand bond. ■ Mr. Bryant favoured placing the surplus money \at fixed deposit in the bank. It was decided to place £IOO at fixed deposit at the bank for two years. The question of holding another meeting in February was discussed and the matter held over until next meeting.
