The team suggested was Woodhouse, McLardy, and Coleman. While expressing appreciation of the enterprise of the centre, the council, in view of the proposed English tour, decided to hold the matter over. The revival of regular contests between Australian and New Zealand athletes, which have been dropped since the Australian athletic championships lapsed in 1927. was suggested by the Canterbury Centre. The council decided to reopen the matter with the Amateur Athletic Association of Australia. and also to ask for further information about the invitation for a New Zealand team to visit Australia during the Centenary celebrations.
