THE Manchester Aero Club held their first annual general meeting at the Midland Hotel, on Tuesday last. The attendance was not as large as expected, owing undoubtedly to the fact that the opening of the Ice Skating Rink clashed with the date of the meeting. In the unavoidable absence of the President, Sir Wm. Bailey, the Chairman of Committee (Mr. Cedric Lee) was voted in the chair. From the balance sheet and the report it is evident that the club has been run successfully, as the club starts its new financial year with a substantial balance to its credit. The Committee did not feel justified in launching out in the first year of the existence of the club into undertakings which might have involved financial risks and losses, but he assured the assembly that they are quite ready and prepared to undertake anything opportunity may bring within their province. After giving a full account of the work carried out during the past year, the chairman appealed to the members for further support and further encouragement. As in every other undertaking, funds are wanted if great things are to be achieved, and the chairman expressed the hope that a large number of people who have not taken an interest in this new branch of sport and science will enlist as members. The club has been particularly fortunate in securing the Lord Mayor, (Councillor Behrens) as President for the coming year, and Sir Wm. Bailey, the late President who is always ready to support and encourage new movements, has consented to be deputy-president by the special wish of the Lord Mayor. The members of the Committee and a number of Vice-Presidents were re-elected, and a cordial vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Stevenson, the late joint Honorary Secretary, for his whole hearted work for the club. The present number of members of the club is 268, to which have to be added a number of honorary members. At the present moment the Manchester Aero Club is the largest provincial club in the United Kingdom.
