Athletic

The most outstanding features of the 1940-41 season's activities were the large attendances on Club nights and on training nights, and the keeness displayed by all members throughout. Points for the Old Members' Cup were keenly contested and many of the newer members of the Club successfully held their own against more experienced athletes. This influx of new blood into the Club augurs well for the coming season as many of these youth athletes have already gained laurels and much valuable experience while still at school. Many members of the Club turned out regularly just with the object of keeping fit and not for competitive reasons.

The Club is indeed fortunate in having the use of the basement at Weir House for changing and showering, and to the Weir House Management Committee goes the Club's thanks. The Club is also grateful to R, G. Freeman who so tirelessly coached members throughout the season, and who ungrudgingly gave his time and valuable advice whenever called upon.

Awards of trophies for the season were made to the following Club members:—

Dunbar Cup (most points in Open Competition)—J. Sutherland.
