Although a loss of £6 1s. 3d. was revealed at the 8th annual meeting of the Nottingham and Notts.

Powell, in making reference to that loss, was able to announce receipts totalling £22 2s. 9d. and the fact that £9 5s. 11d. had been carried forward.

The report of Mr. G. B. Godson (hon. secretary) showed that the Parker Cup had been won by Mr. C L Foulds, and the Birkin Cup by Mr. J. B Fenwick. He also stated that instead of Friday, as hitherto, it was expected that the club night at Trent Range would in future be Thursday, whilst it was anticipated that the club, and also the Notts. Rifle Association, would be again represented at the Birmingham Bisley, to be held at Kingsbury on June 10th next. Further arrangements were in hand for Home and Away shooting matches with the 1st Battalion Sherwood Foresters. now stationed at Whittington Barracks, Litchfield.

All the officers were re-elected for the ensuing year, as follows: Chairman, Mr. Chas. Parker; hon. treasurer. Mr. J. F. Powell; hon. secretary, Mr G. B. Godson.; committee, Messrs. L. Whitworth, W. S. Lewitt and H. E. Warsop.
