WOMEN'S CRICKET WELLINGTON ASSOCIATION DISSATISFIED LETTER TO NEW ZEALAND COUNCIL That the Dominion Women's Cricket Council with its headquarters in Christchurch is influenced too much by the Canterbury Association is the opinion of the Wellington Association. In a letter read at last night's meeting of the New Zealand Council the secretary of the Wellington Association, Miss C. O. G. Robertson, advised that Wellington - would not be represented on the council and refused to supply the balahce-sheet of the game against the English team as asked by the council. "In regard to your demand for an audited balance-sheet. . , . your Canterbury Council or the Canterbury Association will not receive any such statement from the Wellington Association," the letter stated. "I would like to inform your council that the rest of our management committee are not so insignificant as I apparently appeared to the members of your committee when I was at your last meeting and that they are capable of deciding what percentage the English women's touring team will receive of the Wellington gate. "There will be no representative from the Wellington Association at this meeting and we do not wish anyone to act on our behalf, thus everything will be just right." It was decided to receive the letter and to write to the Wellington Association resenting its tone and pointing out that the New Zealand Council was representative of the whole of New Zealand.
