The question of ownership of the Paddock remained unresolved and at a meeting on 11th July 1935, it was decided to leave the matter in abeyance as T. N. Wardrop, Solicitor, had not received a final reply from Messrs. Franks & Carter, Solicitors. The Paddock was later, in fact, included in the deal as part of the Course.
