Secretary's Report to the 1975 AGM

The resent refurbishing of the pavilion had so improved the general amenities and comfort of our members that there was little left for
improvement in the lounge area. The impressive increase in bar sales was in no small measure due to this great work by members. The
secretary produced old balance sheets dated 1897 and 1902 in which the names Iliffe and Bolton were mentioned and the club's
financial turnover amounted to £40.1.8d in 1897.
We had our usual mixed fortunes in league and cup competitions but once again the 6-a-side competition had been a great day for the
village and not least the clubs finances. Len Sturgess had again done a great organising job.
The secretary noted the list of present and past Honorary Life Vice Presidents indicating that each had received their honour for long and
devoted hard work on behalf of the club.
He thanked Bob Gilson
for being instrumental in providing us with 13 young trees with which further to enhance the ground. He also noted
the plans for the encouragement of youth teams, the continued enthusiastic and generous support from the Bridge club and the use of indoor
nets during the winter. He looked forward with enthusiasm to the coming 1975 season.
Each captain had detailed and commented on the results of the 1974 season:
