AGM
Membership
The Annual General Meeting was held on 24 February 1921 in Ye Olde Castle Restaurant, Belfast. In the chair on this occasion was Mr J C Barr who acted as Honorary Solicitor for the Club. The secretary reported that the Club had enjoyed a highly successful year in 1920 and, in the end, the balance sheet was also in a satisfactory state.
An early list of members for the 1921 season shows a healthy membership of 59, all paying 10/subscription. The majority of members were from Belfast, but a few from further afield – Hillsborough (Mr William J White); Ballymena (Mr Joseph Craig); Crawfordsburn (Mr T G Lindsay); Templepatrick (Mr F A Newell) and Bangor (Mr Alexander R Jamieson).
There were welcome donations to the prize fund by Mr David Robb (£1.5s.0d) and also the sum of £5.2s.2d by the late members of the Belfast and North of Ireland Motor Cycle Club which had recently ceased to exist. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr Robb and the donors (interesting as Mr Robb was on the committee of the B&D Club at the time).
At a meeting held on 13 April 1921 in the YMCA, Mountpottinger, a further sixteen names were proposed for membership which included W J Chambers and H Chambers, Donegall Pass, Belfast who at that time were leading motorcycle and car dealers in the city). This took the total membership to 75.
