The past year has been mediocre in some respects, with a certain lack of enthusiasm being apparent in some quarters. The membership of the Club has once again returned to pre-war levels with a total of 35 members but, unfortunately, a large number of these members are not active, and I would like to see more of the total taking part in all activities. Of our small racing membership three have been called to the Forces during the year, but I hope to see some of those due to be released in the corning year back in our ranks again.
Social activities have not been supported as well as they might have been. At the last A.G.M. I raised the question of running a dance and the members were in agreement that the effort should be made. It was therefore a great disappointment to the committee and myself when it became apparent that the members were so apathetic that if a non-member of the Club had not come to the rescue the loss incurred would have been greater than it was. Theatre visits have been arranged and some good outings have been had. The Club Dinner held in February was a success both financially and socially, the Dinner held in December was an even greater success socially, but financially a loss; a very good evening was had and all in attendance enjoyed Ragged Staff's humour.
