seconded, that the Statement of Receipts and Expenditure
be accepted and that the new committee have it audited.
Carried unanimously. 
 
Annual Report:Mr (William) Ridland
presented the annual report & made 2 comments: 

  • one that it seems to be generally
    considered that the community would be wasting its
    time on conservation matters, as they seem to
    believe that conservationists seek out problems to
    occupy their time instead of the actual fact that
    conservationists have to make time to deal with
    community problems.     

  • and secondly that the Beaumaris
    Conservation Society had previously been the
    Beaumaris Tree Preservation Society.     

Mr (William) Ridland
moved, seconded by Mr (John)
Iggulden, that the Annual Report be received. Carried
unanimously. 
 

Election of
Officers:		The President,
Mr (William) Ridland

stated his intention to retire from the presidency and
that he would be unable to stand for re-election for the
coming year. Mr Ridland then called for nominations as

As the Secretary had previously stated
her inability to take office during 1972, it was
decided that she would remain in office only until the
Committee could find someone suitable to take her
place. 

It was then decided that the new
office-bearers would invite all members prepared to
serve on the Committee to be present at the next
Committee meeting and the new Committee would then be
nominated. 
 

General
Business		Mr (William) Ridland wished
the new Committee the best of luck for the new year. 

Mr (John)
Iggulden thanked Mr Ridland for the work he had done
for the society during the year; and estimated that
about 45 issues had arisen during the last year in the
P.P.C.C. in which Mr Ridland was Vice President and so
that his collective contribution to conservation had
been very considerable. 

Mr Ridland thanked Mrs (Gabrielle) Johnstone
for her help during the year as Secretary. 

As there was no further business the
meeting was closed at 10:30 p.m.
