An application by Stanley Cricket Club for the use
of our ground on August 8th was declined the
ground being considered totally unfitted for cricket.
The Secretary was instructed to arrange the Club
Picnic to be held on August 18th and to arrange
with the New Brighton Motor Coach Co. to take the
entire party to Bettws-y-coed as last year returning
via Llangollen.
J. Taylor The Secretary reported having received from William
McArthur a strong recommendation with regard to
a centre forward named J. Taylor, and that on the
Chairman's instructions he had sent John Fare to
report on his play, that John Fare had reported
that whilst he was young (aged 21) big (5 ft 10 ins.)
and was the best player on his side yet the quality
of football displayed was such as to make him hesitate
in recommending his engagement. That on receipt of
a further letter from McArthur he the Secretary had,
as instructed by the Chairman, gone to Stirling to
see Taylor play, that on this occasion he had
displayed no form whatever but that he had arranged
with him to come down and play one or two trials
for us in August. That he had received a letter
from McArthur today stating that Taylor had
declined to sign a Central League from but would
come down as promised.
The Secretary was thereupon instructed to report
his request as to one or two trial games.
