GREYTOWN

GOLF CLUB ANNUAL MEETING LAST NIGHT. (“Times-Age” Special.) The annual meeting of the Greytown Golf Club was held last evening. Mr J. Kiernan presided over an attendance of twenty members. The annual report stated that during the past season the club had been able to entertain a large number of the members of the armed forces and this reason alone had justified the club in harrying on its activities. The balance sheet showed assets at £163 ss, and a cash balance of £ll. The president said that members should consider whether to carry on or go into recess. It was pointed out that only 6 holes would be available and there was a scarcity of balls. The majority of the old members had signified that they intended to join again this year. Mr J. F. Thompson expressed the hope that the club would continue. It was 36 years since it was formed. On his motion it was agreed that the club should carry on. The subscription was fixed: Men, £2 10s; ladies, £1 10s; reduceable to £2 and £1 5s respectively if paid before June 30. The election of officers resulted: — Patron, Mr H. Kellie; president, Mr J.
