RULE 25 STRICTLY ENFORCED!
SPECIAL NOTES
In case of bad or unfavourable weather or other reasons causing the receipts to fall short of paying expenses and all prizes in full, after paying the expenses, a proportionate amount, exclusive of membership, will be deducted from such prizes, to enable Directors to balance the amounts without loss. The Directors feel that this course is the most equitable and fair that can be adopted, as any deductions will fall proportionally on all those participating in the amounts collected and not leave the whole sum to be a debt to bear heavily on the Society and thus impair its usefulness.
