in the Billiard Room. Later the Hon.Secy. stated that he had been approached by

instructions given pending further discussion. W.Ryan felt that the action taken was
unconstitutional and if persisted in would result in a cleavage of membership. It was
decided to confirm the action taken by the Secretary and the subject lie on the table
for the meantime and that in future any matter affecting the rights and privileges of
membership, notice of notion should be given that future notices of meetings should
contain a copy of the Agenda and that the Minutes be duplicated and circulated as
