19th November 1946 - Ponds Committee

Satisfaction with the lighting, as far as had been completed, was expressed. It was decided to postpone further resurfacing until the spring.

4th December 1946 - Management Committee

As the stock of printed Club Rules from 1907 were about exhausted, it was deemed a good time to make revisions and bring them up to date. A sub-commitee of J Lamb, H Munn, T Walls, Dr J I Watson and CWC Wookey was appointed to do this.

The ice-man, D Morrison, had not been able to devote as much time as he would wish, so another club member, W MacGillivray, was appointed as his assistant, at a rate of 2/- an hour.

Matches now to finish by 9.45pm in order that ice can be got ready for play the next day.

40 entries had been received for the Park Cup.
