Minutes The minutes of the last two meetings were read and approved. Hoarding The Secretary reported that the Ground Committee had had an interview with the Vicar & representatives of St. Lukes Church & that the latter would consent to the removal of our hoarding to the limit of our land provided a deed reserving a rent to them were signed but that the Ground Committee would not recommend that that be done as it was felt that the Club had power to do what was proposed and it was thereupon resolved that a letter be written intimating that if the church authorities were prepared to construct their proportion of the intended new street in the immediate future the directors would construct their portion at the same time, but if not they proposed to extend their hoarding so as to enclose the site of their portion of such intended street with a view to the better protection of their property.
