The council also decided to try to make a first-class coach available to instruct South Island coaches, if this was welcomed in the South Island. A New Zealand-made bat, a two-piece glue-bonded mangaeo, was submitted to the meeting by a Rotorua enthusiast. A number of these bats will be tried in competition play next season.
