I'he Council agreed to the formation of a new athletic centre in the North Island, to be known as the West Coast (North Island) Centre, comprising the Manawatu, Waiiganui, and Taranaki districts, with possible headquarters at Hawera. Mr H. I. Austad reported having received from the secretary of the professional cycling body an intimation that it was to nominate delegates to the newly-formed New Zealand Cycling-Federation.
