GERALDINE COUNTY ANGLERS’ SOCIETY.
The annual meeting of the Geraldine County Anglers’ Society was held in the Crown Hotel, Temuka, yesterday afternoon. Mr A. M. Clark presided. The annual report showed that there was some slight improvement in the society’s financial position. One competition had been held, the results of which were, fairly satisfactory. The principal winners were Mr W. Mendelso u (who took the cup for artificial fly fishing) and Mr A. Beck (who secured the cup for minnow fishing.) A fly-book, presented to the Society by Messrs A. Briscoe & „Co., per Mr James Findlay, had yet to be fished for. The annual dinner had been dispensed with. The balance-sheet showed total receipts £l4 13s 7d, and expenditure £lll4s 9d, showing a credit balance of £2 8s lOd. Against this, however, there were some small liabilities.
On the motion of the President, seconded by Mr A. W, Gaze, the balance* sheet as adopted was read.
