The president's report stated: "After another year the war clouds are still hanging over us, but we must keep on hoping for the best. We always find a certain amount of happiness in our game of croquet and that helps a lot. During the year some of our members suffered bereavements and the sympathy of the club members went out to them. I would like to thank our office-bearers for their assistance during the year, and all members for their co-operation. I hope this year will be a happy one for us all. The treasurer's report showed a balance of £5/13/8.
