From the day the branch was formed it has never looked back, and on behalf of the parent body I thank you one and all for the work ■you have accomplished.” The annual report recounted the activities of the various committees during the past year. These included a monthly concert given to the inmates of the infirmary, fortnightly visits, when sweets and literature were distributed; a special Christmas treat on December S; the donation of two spinal chairs, a wireless installation, and a clock for the Costley Ward.
