An important matter dealt with was a report with reference to subscription revenue for the year commencing on August 1. The report indicated that owing to the steady increase in membership, the subscription payable by clubs can now be reduced without bringing the asßOCialion’s revenue below the amount required for its work. The reduction to be proposed is bv way of reducing 1 the levy paid in respect of lady members from 2s. to is., which would mean that affiliated clubs would pay in subscriptions to the asso ciation nearly £3OO per annum less than under the present rule. It was resolved to call a special general meeting of delegates at Wellington next month, so that the resolution, if passed, will be effective for the coming financial year.
