WOODVILLE JOCKEY CLUB.
PROFITS TO PATRIOTIC FUNDS
As onl}' the required number of nominations for vacancies for officebearers and stewards were received, an election will not be necessary at the annual meeting of the Woodville District Jockey Club on Friday night. The retiring officers and stewards were the only ones nominated. It was quite possible that the adoption of the win-and-place totalisator had something to do with the increased turnover, states the annual report. Both meetings had been profitable, particularly the February one, when the totalisator turnover had been the best for 20 years. As the club had decided at the beginning of the 1940-41 season that all profits made during the war were to be a donation for patriotic purposes, it was a matter for gratification that, after payment of taxation, there would be quite a respectable balance to hand over. The list of active members stood at 135, as against 146 the previous year.
