A five member committee will arrange buildings at the new sports ground and lighting plant costing about £800 will illuminate the track. The club cancels its November 26 meeting to avoid clashing with the Pemberton Show and thanks the Bridgetown Agricultural Society for allowing removal of poles and wires from the current site. Stakes are fixed at a minimum of £150 per meeting, admission rises to 5/-, 3/5 with 1/- for cars, and membership drive efforts will push for new members with tickets soon.
