The resignation of Mr. 11. T. Twii-s was received with regret, the chairman eulogising the resigning member's services. It was decided to place on record the committee's appreciation _ of Mr Twiss' services to the Association, and for allowing his name to lie retained on the list of guarantors. The secretary of the Gun Club (Mr. Hunter) wrote" with reference to Mr. Huggett's complaint as to the effect of the" club using the showgrounds for shooting, and stating that Mr. Huggett had no reasonable ground for complaint.
