GRIFFITH AUST. RULES PRESIDENT REPORTS

In his annual report presented at the annual general meeting on Tuesday night, March 4, Mr. Noble Guild, President of the Griffith Australian Rules Football Club, said that on the whole the past year had been a successful one.
On the field of play both teams had performed with credit right throughout the season; financially the Club had had a successful year, but not so much so as to permit any complacency amongst the committee and members, while socially several very happy functions had catered very well for players and members.
Continuing, Mr. Guild said it was very pleasing to see the members of the team together in summer sports. The Aust. Rules cricket team apparently possessed few players of test match standard, but it was well served its purpose well.
The Aussie Rules players, however, were much the fore in the Basketball competition, providing many of that sport's top-ranking players.
Mr. Guild spoke highly of the service given by the coach, Tom Allen, whom he said besides working with enthusiasm and purpose with the players, had also given wholehearted support in the activities of the club. 
During the year the club had lost two fine supporters in Mr. and Mrs. Jack Luhrs, but it was hoped someone would come along to take their place. The general committee had worked well together throughout the year and in conjunction with the members of the Ladies Auxiliary and the Social Committee had contributed much to the harmony and success of the season.
In conclusion, Mr. Guild thanked everyone who had helped the Club in any way, either physically financially or mentally during the year and hoped that even more support and co-operation would be forthcoming in the new season to make it better and brighter than ever before.
