It was late November, of the same year, before the next annual meeting was held, this time in the insurance offices of Fred Hyndman, on Water Street. It was the first major meeting of the Belvidere Club in two years, and ten members were present in a show of token support: Francis Haszard, Fred and Arthur Peters, Fred Hyndman, Bill Hobkirk, Ernest Blanchard, Bill Weeks, Francis Arnaud, John Longworth and charter member David Chalmers whose bank had recently trans- ferred him back to Charlottetown. The main order of business was the election of new officers, and, following voting, Honorable Fred Peters became President; Francis Haszard, Vice-President; and William Weeks, Secretary/Treasurer.

1892 would see the beginning of the end of the Belvidere Gun Club. The lack of activity and enthusiasm is reflected in the documented recordings, and from indications there were only a couple of occasions through the winter when they could muster enough enthusiasm to hold a brief session of gunning and social discussion together. Honorable Fred Peters' position as Provincial Attorney General did not allow him the time that he should have taken, as President, to make the effort to reconstruct the Club.

As summer approached, Secretary/Treasurer Bill Weeks was having a problem with a number of the members who had failed to pay their $3.00 assessment. Their argument, as it turned out, was because they felt the Club was not holding enough competitions, and, in retrospect, it is doubtful if the members really cared.

The Club members did not meet again until Fred Peters invited them to Sidmount in December for the annual meeting. Their apathy was evidenced by the fact that no shooting was done, and the meeting took place in the early afternoon. They did get right down to business, and the minutes reported the sitting as follows:
