Hendry (Taranaki), Arthur Powell (Auckland), Tim O’Brien (Auckland), Nancy Kuch (Hamilton), Ivan Lovelock (Hamilton). Manager: Albert Kuch (Hamilton).
The team is faced with finding $60,000 for travel and accommodation. John Flett, of the Balmoral Bowling Club in Auckland, is organising a national appeal.
