Honorary Secretary of Bathurst A H and P resigns
Mr W G Thompson hands in resignation as honorary secretary to the Bathurst A H and P Association. The committee will consider the move at tomorrow afternoon’s meeting. The secretary has long sought retirement due to strain and time demands, with the body now debt-free and the need to pay future secretarial work debated. The proposal to make the secretary a paid position gains support amid clear calls for improved efficiency and remuneration. Further, by laws on allowances and temporary arrangements for interim duties are noted as possible solutions. Death notes report Mrs Purdon of the O Connell district, aged 64, survived by ten, funeral set for today.
