Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I have much pleasure in presenting my Report of the Club's Social and Touring activities for the year 1935. The Membership now numbers 181, an increase of 1 since last year. This figure is composed of 135 Full, 5 Junior Full and 41 Honorary Members. Six New Members have been elected during the year, viz., 5 Full and 1 Junior Full. 2 Resignations have been accepted, viz., 1 Full and 1 Honorary, and 1 Full Member's name has been struck off. It is with sincere regret I have to record the death of one Member since the last Annual General Meeting, viz., Mr. C. F. O. Boyes. He joined the Club in 1908, and was always most help ful to our Racing men. He never relaxed his interest in the Club, his passing©is Anfield a great loss. Bicycle Club There have been 53 Fixtures during the year, with an average attendance of 33.094, a decrease of .245 compared with 1934. Quarterly average attendances were : January to March, 30.923 ; April to June, 39.769 ; July to September, 33.538, and October to December, 2S.5. The highest attendance was as usual at the Invitation " 100," when 82 Members were out. The lowest attendance was at Little Budworth, on lllth October, when only 10 Members were out. During the year Mr. T. Rovden completed his 1,000 runs and I tender to him on behalf of the Club our heartiest congratu lations. Following a remark made to me by the President a few weeks ago I have calculated Mr. R. L. Kuipe's attendances and find that at the end of 1933 he had completed over 1,000 runs. His total to date is 1,094, and I tender to him also the Club's heartiest congratulations. Mr. W. P. Cook has, as usual, attended all the runs, viz., 53 during 1935. Mr. G Lockett has attended 51 runs and therefore gains the First Attendance Prize. Mr. E. Hayucs, Junr., has attended 50 runs and gains the Second Attendance Prize. Individual attendances at Club Fixtures during the year are as follows :— W. P. Cook 53 P. Chandler 41 G. Lockett 51 H. W. Powell 40 E. Haynes, Jnr. 50 H. Thomas 40 E. Edwards 47 J. J.
