Mr. T. O’Sullivan proposed that the motion ,which he proposed , and which appeared in the Minutes of December, 1930, be considered and he now begged to move the following resolution ,which was seconded by Mr. A.H. Moore, and agreed to :-‘’That the Dean of Faculties of Dairy Science ,University College Cork, be an ex-officio member of the General Committee and that the Committee recommended to the annual general meeting to add the above to rule 7 of the General Rules and Regulations governing the Society.’’
Mr. T. O’Sullivan pointed out that there were a great many people members of the Society at a fee which does not justify their being members and after some discussions, it was decided to refer the matter to the Finance Committee.
Mr. J. Barrett referred to the condition of the road to the Show Grounds and said the matter should be brought to the attention of the Cork Corporation before they considered their annual estimate , and he proposed that the Corporation be written to on the matter .
This was seconded by Mr. T.O’Sullivan and was agreed to.
The Secretary submitted a return showing the attendances for the members of the General Committee for the past year and according to the rules of the Society ,eight members should retire , and are not eligible for re-election. The members were as follows:-
Capt. W.R. Clarke, C.A. Love, D.J. Lynch, J.D. O’Sullivan, Wm. Richardson, Major. A.H. Watt, W.A. Whitelegge. The following had the same number of attendances: - Geo. Logan, J. O’Regan, Thos. McGrath, Hugh Twomey, and as one of these should go out lots were drawn to determine which member should remain in. It was decided that the last named out, had to retire. Mr. J. O’Regan, being the last named out had to retire. Mr. Daly said it was not to the advantage of the Society that a member should be put off the General Committee simply because he was short one attendance to qualify. He thought there should be a Rule where by a member who secured a certain number of members for the Society should be made a life-member of the Society. Mr. D. Cronin said he would resign from the General Committee in favour of Mr. O’Regan, and Mr. Daly then proposed , and Miss Gubbins seconded, that a recommendation be made to the annual general meeting that a new rule be added to the present rules ,that life members be elected on payment of a subscription of £20,or any member who obtained 30 new members within the year. The motion was passed. The four outgoing members who were longest in office ,viz:- J. Barrett, E.J. Clarke, J. Daly, V.S, Miss. M.E. Gubbins, who were eligible for election, were proposed by Mr. M.Twomey , and seconded by Mr. C. McDonald, Mr. D. Ross proposed that, in order to facilitate the counting of votes at the annual general meeting ,the names appearing on the Ballot paper be numbered .In reply to a member the Sec. stated that the members proposed were arranged in alphabetical order. Mr. J. O’Sullivan proposed that the names be arranged as in previous years. This was seconded by Mr. J. Barrett and, after some discussion, was passed.
