Fisher the present member having signified his intention of resigning. Mr J. E. Coles presided. A letter was read from Mr Parke regretting that he was unable to be present, as he should like to have strongly supported the re-election of Mr Fisher, for he had done good work.

Mr Fisher outlined what had been done during the two years he had been in office, and noted the improvements in the housing question, the Little Kineton corner, &c. For business reasons, and also because he thought such offices should go round, he wished to resign, and he proposed that Mr J. W. Evans be nominated. This was seconded and duly carried.

A special meeting of the Fenny Compton and District Horticultural Society was held in the schoolroom on Saturday evening. In the absence of Mr. A. E. Knott (president), Dr. F. V. Elkington occupied the chair. The business of the meeting was to discuss the desirability of holding the annual show in August. After discussion it was decided in view of the unsettled condition of Europe and the distress consequent on the war to abandon the show for one year. The Chairman said Mr. Knott had spoken to him on the matter and had suggested that a donation of £5 5s. be forwarded to the Warneford Hospital, Leamington from the society’s funds, for the assistance of wounded soldiers quartered there. This was adopted by the meeting.
