Dr. 8. A. Ransom then, in a short speech, voiced the thanks of the Association to Major T. E. Trueman, for the assistance he had always extended to the Association, and also to the Orderly Room Staff, appeals to which had never been in vain. He thanked also Messrs. Stevenson and Carson for auditing the accounts, and the Boy Scouts for their scoring, and skilful work; Mr. A. M. Collaco for his organization of prize funds and the keening of records of shooting, as well as his other duties as Secretary and Treasurer.
Suggestions as to shelters for ranges, a clear road to the butts, and tram-car facilities were left to the incoming committee, and a suggestion by Mr. W. J. F. Forsyth, seconded by Mr. C. Mills, to the effect that tents should be provided by the Association for men shooting at Bisley, provided that there be five or six members there.
The meeting closed with an expression of appreciation by Dr. Ransom, on behalf of the niembers of the Association, of the excellent work done by Mr. E. C. Pearce as Chairman, his efforts in their behalf, and the time that he, as a busy man, had given for their welfare.
