The Chairman read to the Shareholders a letter from the
Auditors intimating that having regard to the serious loss
of income sustained by the Club during season 1915-16
owing to the fact of the War, they proposed making a
rebate of Ten guineas from the fee which was authorised
at the last Annual Meeting and that subject to the
approval of the Directors they (the Auditors) in the event
of their re-appointment would be content to accept a
reduced fee of Forty guineas during the continuance of
the War.
The Chairman in leaving the matter in the hands of the
Shareholders warmly eulogised the action of the Auditors
and the Shareholders in accepting the proposal testified
their appreciation of such voluntary action.
Mr. William Green proposed, Mr. Joseph Hunt seconded
and Mr. George Mitchell supported and it was unanimously
resolved that a hearty vote of thanks be accorded to the
Directors for their services.
The Chairman having acknowledged same declared
the meeting at an end.
