Regarding Armistice Day, which had been re-christened by the British Legion "the Day of Remem prance," he suggested that ar. additional feature in the future might be the sale of poppies, in accordance with the excellent idea originated by Lord Haig, by which the funds of the Association would benefit.
Thanks to the generosity of Mr. H. M. Tibbey, the office of the Association had been moved from its uncomfortable and inaccessible quarters in Chaotung Road to a nice little room in the Glen Line Building on the Bund. Mr. Tibbey had kindly let the Association have this room and furniture at 2 nominal rental, and they were much indebted to him.
The Committee considered the question of the provision of club rooms, but were unanimous in the opinion that any outlay of the funds of the Association would not be justified as the association was primarily intended as a charitable organization, and the funds at its disposal were insufficient to meet the demand, whilst there were already such a vast number of clubs in Shanghai that it was very doubtful whether such rooms would be used to any great extent, and their upkeep would be a continual drain on the funds of the Association.
Lt.-Colone] Hayley Bell kindly offered the use of his bungalow at Mokanshan to the Association last summer, for which the Committee expressed to him their grateful thanks.
