LOSS OF $1891

Assn report on cricket

One of the worst financial years in the Canterbury Cricket Association’s history is recorded in its annual report.

The association had a loss of $1891.90 on normal activities—sl764 more than for the previous year—and an excess of expenditure of more than $2500 transferred to the detriment of the Accumulated Fund. Comparing the year with two and four years previously—which had similar programmes—the report says that expenditure was held. But income was down $2OOO on two years before, and by $l6OO on the 1966-67 year. The cost of the northern tour was up $224 (to $1414), and the southern tour cost rose from $476 to $616. The profits from the home matches dropped sharply. The Plunket Shield match against Central Districts was worth only $717— compared with $llB4 two years before —and the Wellington game $99 ($758 the previous Lancaster Park meeting of the teams).
