MINIATURE RIFLE CLUB. BUSINESS AT ANNUAL MEETING. (“Times-Age” Special.) The annual meeting of the Martinborough Miniature Rifle Club was held on Monday evening at the club rooms, there being a moderate attendance of members. The annual report and balance were adopted. The report showed that the club was not so successful as in .previous years, there having been quite a lot of sickness among members, but it was hoped to have a better season this year. Two minutes’ silence was observed in memory of the late Mr Ken Wright, who, it was stated was one of the club’s best workers, nothing being too much trouble for him. A vote of thanks, carried by acclamation, was accorded 40 Messrs Mason, and Michell, and Mrs Boyd for their valuable assistance to the club. Three new members, Mr Brierly, Mr Rowlands and Miss Barbara Howatt, were nominated.
