Stock car promoters’ representative, Mr S. Black (Morrinsville); midget car representative, Mr L. Vercoe (Auckland); three-quarter midget car representative, Mr D. Sorenson (Auckland); motor-cycle and sidecar representative, Mr A. Clark (Auckland); stock car competitors’ representative, Mr M. Hopkins (Stratford). The Auto Cycle Union’s appointments to the board will be made after the annual conference in August.-
