Showground to Let Colts for Season Use
The showground committee agreed to make grounds available to the Colts Football Club for Sundays and some Saturdays plus training, if the club covers fighting costs not charged to the Society. A rental of 10 percent of gate takings up to £30 and 5 percent after was proposed, but the committee set 10 percent on gross takings due to possible showers and facilities. Arrangements aim to avoid clashes with the Hockey Club over ground use.
