It was decided that a deputation wait upon the Borough Council re permission to peg out and prepare a cycle track on Easton Park in readiness for racing, and for the holding of an athletic meeting with the object of augmenting funds for the laying down of a permanent banked cycle track. The chairman remarked that it was gratifying to see such a good attendance of athletes to foster the spirit of sportsmanship in the town. He felt sure the public would rally round the club and render it support. A vote of thanks to the chair terminated a very enthusiastic meeting.
