The annual report which was of a very satisfactory nature was adopted, together with the balance sheet. A letter was read from the President of the British Association Football Union in which he pointed out the marked advance of the British Association game throughout the states and New Zealand. Office-bearers for the year were appointed as follows:— Patron Mr P. F. Rowland, (re-elected); President. Mr R. Stewart; Vice-Presidents: Messrs Tuffley, Fowler, H. Haylock, G. Smith. J. Christie. Gilmour, Morrison, H. Cordlngley, and D. Winterbottom. Secretary and treasurer, Mr F. H. Burns (re-elected).
Eight Clubs have entered for this year's Charity Shield contest, also for the trophy valued at £13 13s, given by the Association. It was decided to affiliate with the Queensland Association. The drawing up of fixtures tor the season was left to the delegates from the various clubs, who meet on Monday next. The season will open on May 11. After a considerable amount of detail business had been disposed of the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair. From present appearances the ensuing season promises to be the most successful for the Association game ever experienced in Townsville.
