. (5) A letter in reply to a report for more details Wl!oS read from t~e 'Addington.Park' Mess,
explaining that'it was lik!'lly to remain open for 'atleast two years more, and stating t.pat several
regular officers· there were subscribers to the Central Fund. It was r,esolved that ,a grant ·of· ~ ',. , ... ~ ..•
£20 be made tQwards the 'prQvision of mess equipment, cin the un'derstanding that the Central
Fund shall have first clai):ll, when the mess closes .on any sum which inay accrue to the latter
{rom ,the sale of property 'so purchased. The Secretary was directed to sugge~t that any regular
officers belonging to the mess who do not yet subscribe to the Central Fund be invited to do so.
(6) The'Chairman said that the Aldershot mess'7as not for the present asking for,a renewal
of the grant which had been made to it during.the pasttwQ years,but was waiting till its
fiIJanciai positiQn became more clear.

anything at present., The Commtttee appreciated the action taken,' and placed on. record their
opin!on t~at any-request fer help which'/ might be made later on should receiY!3 favourable

(8) There was soms discussiQn on the question of a Cerps suhscriptien tQ tile Army Athletic
" AssQciatien. It.was censidered that the matter ceuld stand ever fer the.present.
,_
·(9) Of recent'years the Committee·has been cemprisedo£ .one representative frem each:district
and frem each .of the smaller 'Cemmand,s; LendQn and Aldershot_ having twe each. Districts
.having now ceased to exist, the Cemmittee gave careful consideration to its recenstitution. ,It is
ofopiniQn that one member from each Command in the United Kingdom, and frem the' Lendon
district, together with one froin each of the following .messes:' Londen, ,Aldershet, Netley,
WOQlwich, Cosharil and Curragh-should constitute a Committee thoroughly representative of
t~e Corps, and therefore recommends to the Annual General Meet}ng that this provisional
scheme be 'adopted for one year; t4e representation .of the Indian messes remaining as at
present.
. . . . . . .
'
-' (10) Befe;!'e the war the acquirement 'by the Central Me'l.S Fund of seme, or all, of the Rawal
Pindi mess debentures was under censider.ttien as it was thought that the mess would benefit .and
also the Fund ... This was again discussed, and it was resolved .that'the General- Meeting be asked
to allow the Ooimnittee to take-action in the matter, should further investigation shew that it.is
desirable, and is still desired by members .of the m e s s . '
