The first annual meeting since the club’s revival was held with President W. W. Hawdon presiding. Members were few as the annual report praised progress from the 1926 fire to the 1938 building completion. The committee highlighted a £110 sale of the old site and a £150 contribution from the Returned Soldiers League, with a fine piano bought for £50 and a new kitchen and electric wiring.
