GOLF CLUB’S ANNUAL MEETING. PAST YEAR’S ACTIVITIES. 1 (“Times-Age" Special.) ' There was a large attendance at the annual meeting of the Greytown Golf Club which was held on Monday evening. Mr J. Kiernan, president, occupied the chair. A vote of sympathy was passed to the family of the late Mr W. J. Feast, a : life member of the club. Members stood in silence. The annual report stated that the club finances had improved. The season started with a debit balance of ' £l2, and finished with a credit of £4 ; 9s lid. The standard of golf during the season had been high. The membership , had decreased last year owing to several members leaving the district.’ The committee regrets that since the ' season closed the patron, Mr W. J. Feast, has passed away. Mr Feast was a member of the club for a great number of years. He was also a generous benefactor, and his great knowledge of the game was always at the service of any player who wished to improve his game. He would be greatly missed and the club extended its sympathy to his family in their great loss. The election of officers resulted: — Patron, Mr J. F. Thompson; president, Mr J. Kiernan (re-elected for third term) vice-presidents, Messrs H. G. Carter and J. C. Feast; secretary, Mr L. Curtis; treasurer, Mr A. G. Peterson; match secretaries, Messrs E. Maddison and H. G.
