On May 29th 1952 due notice having been given at the previous Annual Meeting Mr Sutherland moved the following:
“That play be allowed on the Playing Field on Sundays provided that there is no play during Church hours and that no matches shall be played; and that play be confined to the Club’s members; and that this provision for Sunday play be tried for twelve months and shall be reviewed at the next Annual Meeting of the Village Hall.”
A ballot vote was taken on this resolution which showed it to be carried.
N.B. (No objection was raised at the following Annual General Meeting if the agreement of no play during Church hours is faithfully carried on.)
