This monthly advertisement will take its place. Last week's Branch A.G.M. on May 2 was the first held under the provisions of the new Constitution adopted by the Association's National Annual Meeting in 1979, which streamlines administration throughout the Association. Before the meeting, a concentrated "phone-up" campaign was conducted to encourage members to attend. A new committee was elected to manage the Branch's affairs for the ensuing year. Watch for further Y.H.A. news in this space on the first Wednesday of each month. Christchurch Branch, Youth Hostels Association of New Zealand, Box 1555, Christchurch.
