Messrs. Conder, Willoughby, and Mollison were appointed selectors.

Mr.-W. J. Ferkins was presented with the Willoughby Cup, being the winner of the singles championship, and trophies were presented to Messrs. Hart and Fefldns for winning the Easter pairs.

It was decided to inform the Wellington Centre that the club was of opinion that the runners-up in the championship rinks and pairs should be eligible to play if the winners were not available, also that Pennant matches should be won on the basis of one point for a win and half a point for a draw, instead of the present aggregate system.

As thirteen playing rinks will be available in ihe coming season, it was decided to recommend the executive to hold a tournament open to other clubs.
