The revenue Was £495/12/6, which shows d a decrease of £2O/5/9. Owing to the club running its own stock it received no revenue from grazing rights which the previous year amounted to £4B/15/-; the profit from the dance was £l4/1/6 less. Subscriptions showed an increase ot £35/11/6 and donations. £l/10/-. The farming operations had turned out successful and the stock account showed a surplus of £lBB/7/8.
