Your Executive Committee hax held 21 ordinary and four emergency meetings during the ast year, the average attendance which' has been 12.4, One resignation only took place—that of Mrs. LIP. Wilkinson—and Mrs, E. G. Tait was ce-opted in her place. I should like to take this opportunity of expressing your and my appreciation of the admirable work in which those members of the Committee, who are now ing. have taken part—especially to Mrs, Green, who has been 9 member of the Executive since its formation, Vice-Chairman clu 1928 and' 1924, and Acting Chai man, at a time when the whole Association must have been overwhelmed with work, for tht. months at the end of 1923, Wit Mrs, Green's name must be asso-ointed those of Mrs, Symons, Mrs. 'Matheson, Mrs. Irwine, Miss' May: shew, Mrs, Graham Barrow, Mi Ayrton, Miss Murphy and Miss Hyland,—to all of whom the most coral thanks of the Associ are due. We hope that they offer themselves for at some future time.
We ware that our total membership to-day is 1000-234 members having joined during 1024, We remove from our active lists t names of those who, having original subscription on firat we the Association, neither y us of their resignation, nor reply to our application for further subscriptions due, Should these casual souls, however, resuscitate, or drop into the office, they ary sziven the choice of paying arrears or of being anew introduced for niembershi of the Association. Twill once more make a very. strong appeal to all of those here tonly to help the work in our office by paying up subscriptions during the first month of the year, and by notifying the Secretary of change of address.
Mrs. Gull concluded with expression of the Association gratitude to a variety of frien on whose support it counted, the press, the hon. legal advisers, Jauditor, and to the Che members of the Men's Advisory Committee; also for the help given by local firms on many. public occasions. She also spoke in warm terms of Mrs. Irwine, to whom, she said, it had been almost entirely owing that they were housed there that day.
