Presented at the Annual General Meeting of the Members, 12th January, 1941.

Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen, I have much pleasure in presenting my Report of the Club's activities for the year 1940. At the close of the year there were 20 Members serving with His Majesty's Forces, viz. :— J. S. Jonas D. Ryalls. J. E. Reeves. Len. Killip. J. R. Band. A. Telford. W. P. Rock. D. Birchall. T. T. Samuel. F. Brewster. W. A. Connor. T. Sherman. B. H. Band. ' J. R. Fer. D. Turnor. E. Byron. R. Barker. Ira Thomas. G. Farr. F. W. Smith.

Many of the remaining Members are engaged on special duties, consequently the attendances at the Club Runs have suffered considerably as you will realise when I read the average attendances. The Membership now numbers 162, a decrease of 10 since last year. This figure is composed of 114 Full, 4 Junior Full and 44 Honorary Members. Three resignations have been accepted and 2 Members have been transferred to the Honorary List.

Five names have been struck off for non-payment of sub scriptions. It is with the deepest regret I have to record the death of 2 Members during the year, viz :—Messrs H. R. Band and G. E. Carpenter. Mr. H. R. Band joined the Club in 1908, and for many years was a regular attender at Club Runs, latterly ill-health seriously interfered with his cycling and we only saw him out occasionally, yet in spite of this he took a very great interest in all the doings of the Club, he was always cheerful and a most enthusiastic Anfielder ; his passing is a great loss to the Club. Mr. G. E. Carpenter joined the Club in 1907. He resided in the South, and it was only on few occasions we had the pleasure of seeing him at Club Runs. He did a remarkable amount of riding each year ; the Anfield was his favourite Club. There have been 52 Fixtures during the year, with an average attendance of 10.442, a decrease of 11.103 compared with 1939. Quarterly average attendances were January to March 13.845, April to June 11, July to September 8.615, an<3 October to December 8.307. The highest attendance was at Halewood on 13th January, when 26 Members were out, on 4 occasions during the year there were only 3 Members out. Mr. W. Orrell has attended 37 Runs and gains First Attend ance Prize. Mr. W. T. Venables has attended 26 Runs and gains Second Attendance Prize. Mr. H. Green has attended all the Runs during the year, no mean feat having regard to the conditions obtaining. Individual attendances at Club Runs during the year are as follows :— H. Green ^2 S. T.

Club Tours. Only one Club Tour was held during the year, viz. :—to Bala at Whitsuntide with Headquarters at Plas Coch. The distressing news received a few days before Whitsuntide caused a number of Members to cancel their bookings. Six Members however, decided to carry on and had a very enjoyable time. The best thanks of the Club are again due to Mr. F. Marriott for the excellent way in which he has conducted the Editorship of the Circular under such trying conditions. In conclusion I tender my personal thanks to the President, Members of the Committee and all those who have rendered assistance during the year. I would especially mention Mr. F. Marriott for having taken over the Secretaryship during the past four months, circumstances made it impossible for me to carry on. I greatly appreciate all the good work he has done. I also thank Mr. G. B. Burgess for again addressing the envelopes for the Circular during the year.

Hon. Racing Secretary's Report.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, In making a report to you on behalf of the Hon. Racing Secretary, of the Club'sTime Trial activities for the past season, I have to report that the Club did not promote any Time Trials but our ever enthusiastic Jack Salt kept the Anfield colours flying by riding in certain events promoted locally, and in the south, whilst he was on business there. With so many of our younger members serving with H.M. Forces it was decided not to run any Club fifties during 1940. When the question of promoting the Invitation " 100" came up for discussion in the spring it was decided that it was almost impossible to run the event, as it should be run owing to the various difficulties presented by war-time conditions, snch as accommodation, feeding, helpers and the entry itself. That this was a wise decision was proved in the light of events that followed and the cancellation of the Whitsun Bank Holiday. The Invitation " 12 " hour event was similarly cancelled.

Jack Salt's performances were as follows :—

Calleva, Open " 25 " I.7.53. Calleva, Club " 50 " 2.19.20.

Bath Road Club Open " 50 ' 2.20.0. West Cheshire " 25 " 1.8.3. West Cheshire "50 " 2.19.3. West Cheshire " 25 " 1.7.51.
