Marching changes proposed

t Remits to be put before the, annual meeting of the New' • Zealand Marching Association; in Hamilton on June 21 and; 22. include a change in the' junior age limit from 16 to| 1 15 years, and another to; abolish the minimum age for: (midgets, which is at present eight. By far the most controver-| sial, however, will be those I from the executive committee and Auckland, Nelson and Marlborough centres, all! i advocating changes in format for the national and North and South Island championships. The national publicity officer (Mrs J. Richards) said in Christchurch yesterday, that the president (the Rev. J. B. Chambers') would be' elected unopposed at the annual meeting, for the ninth successive year. The main interest would settle around the election of j a treasurer, as the secretary (Mr A. E. Mason) and the Dominion chief judge (Mr J. H. Lloyd) would also be re-; (elected unopposed. “Marching administration I would appear to be very' sound with the nomination of 14 people for the seven; places on the executive committee. With so manv people interested in serving the sport at national level, marching must continue,” said Mrs Richards.
