EXETER CITY F.C.
The Annual General Meeting of Exeter City was held in May.
The following is from the Western Times from the May 10th 1905
The Annual General Meeting of the Exeter City Association Footall Club was held last night at the Red Lion Inn in Sidwell Street.
Mr W. Fenwick occupied the chair and said the question to decide was whether the club should enter for the Devon Senior League as there was no doubt that if they did it would strengthen the club's position in Exeter and would bring a better class of football into the City.
Mr Phillips raised the point that whether the clubs would play on the ground in the state in which it was at the present.
Mr C Fay moved that the club enter the Devon Senior League. He had calculated that the travelling expenses would be about £35. The lesses of the field would do their utmost to make the ground fit.
Mr Parsons seconded and the vote was carried unanimously. A proposition by Messrs W. Morgan and A. Davidson that the colours be altered to Green shirts with white facings was carried.
Skipper Morgan was again re-elected to the position of captain which he has held since the inauguration of the team. Mr S. Horner was re-elected as sub-captain and Mr C H Thomas as Secretary. Mr H. Bolley was elected as sub-Secretary it being thought that as the club was running three teams it was advisable that an extra man be appointed. Mr Fey was re-elected Hon. Treasurer and thanked for his valuable services during the past season. Sir Edgar Vincent was elected Chairman.
Mr C Thomas in presenting the report said that the gate receipts had amounted to £86 1s 5d and there was a balance in hand of £32 (s 3d. The club in all had played 35 matches. Won 28, Drawn 3 and lost 4. Goals scored numbr 118 against their opponents 42.
In the East Devon League of which they were champions 14 matches played. Eleven were won, two drawn and one lost.
The following is a report of the club’s Annual Dinner.
Annual Dinner Last Evening. May 23rd 1905
The annual dinner of the Exeter City Association Football Club was held at the Red Lion Hotel, Sidwell-street, last evening, and was a distinct success , The Vicar of St. James the Rey. Phillip Williams presided over a goodly attendance of the supporters of the Club, and justice was done the splendid dinner provided by Mr. Tom Oliver.
After the removal of the cloth the loyal toasts were duly honoured, and M C. Fey then submitted The East Devon Football Association." In doing so Mr. Fey said they had a lot to thank the Association for during the past season, and the Ciub would not have been in the position they were had it not been for the Association, Judging from the numer of players athletes to the Association-nearly 1,000-a great deal of work must of necessity devolve upon the Committee of the Association.
In League matches the Club had benefited financially, and although next season the Exeter Club intended to join the Devon County Association, they would also put a strong team out for the East Devon League. He hoped that their joining the Devon County Association would be for the benefit of all
Mr. W. P. Wilkinson, hon. secretary of the East Devon Association, in replying, said the Association were anxious to do all they could to help the all the clubs afiliated to them, and they also had to keep in touch with the Devon County Association. He had always taken the greatest Interest in all kinds of outdoor sports, and he considered association football was one of the best. He congratulated the Club upon the success of last season, and he hoped that next year they would keep up the reputation they had so well earned
In submitting The Exeter City Association Football Club, Mr. Fone paid a high compliment to the form shown by the members of the team during the past season, and said that if they reproduced the same form next season they would make a bold bid for the chief honours of the Devon Senior Association
The Red. E. Reid replied in a happy speech and Mr. S. H. Thomas Secretary), also responded
The most interesting event of the evening then came on, namely, the presentation of the East Devon Cup and medals to members of the victorious team. The Chairman made the presentation in a neat speech, and handed the cup to Skipper Morgan on behalf of the Olub.
The following were the recipients of the medals: The Rev. Reid, Messrs, Peters, Fenwick, Horner. Wallage, Davidson, Sellick, Morgan, Thomas Andrews and Russell.
Other toasts followed, and the remainder of the evening was devoted to harmony, Mr. H. Miller being an able accompanist.
