The French Club

New Home at Verdun Gardens Decided On After an interval of a little over a year, during which period the matter has been more or less in abeyance, members of the Cercle Sportif Francais met anew last Friday to discuss the question of club accommodation. There was a representative attendance, and a fair proportion of the total membership for voting, about 250 being present. Mr. H. Madier presided.

A brief statement was made by the Chairman, on the lines of the circular issued to members, and the Committee invited members to vote on the proposal to build a new club at Verdun Gardens or, in the alternative, enlarge the existing club buildings.

It was suggested by two members, one French and one British, that both proposals be abandoned and that the club remain. precisely as it is. After some discussion, the proposals of the Committee were voted upon, and the Verdun Gardens scheme was carried by 187 votes against 57.
