Memorable main events were the visit by the members of the Katana József theatre,the III. Hungarian Conference, several balls, the Club's 25th Anniversary dinner etc. Investments during 1992 were: replacement of guttering over main hall, new kitchen cabinets,fax machine, master-key system, computer and computer госта. All data relating to membership is on our computer now, after about 80 hours of input and trials by Mrs É. O'Brien and the president. Our surplus is somewhat less than that of last year, mainly due to lower attendance, which is caused by the recession. Hie book-value of the dub is close to $400,000, but we pay property tax on the council valuation of $660,000 whilst the building is insured for $800,000.Membership increased by 30, on the other hand, sadly, we have lost 7 members, who have passed away.5-6 members moved interstate and 20 memberships were cancelled for non-payment of subscription for 5 years or more.It was pleasing to note more and more younger members getting involved in our cultural programmes. Hie president thanked the committee members and those outside if it, who helped in any way during the year. Thanked the various organisations which use the our Club for their functions thus helping to maintain the dub and ensuring it's central role in the life of the Hungarian community in Adelaide.
