It was left to the Executive Committee to report on the matter to the next meeting. • Inquiries were made in a letter from the Waiwetu Golf Club as to whether some arrangement.could be. made whereby golf players would not be subject to interference during the "playing of football matches. The drib took a serious view of the encroachment of the public,'. and stated that it Was due only to the exercise of extreme caution by club members that more serious accidents had not<.occurred The committee's reply asked tho club to adhere to the arrangement made between the-two bodies two years ago, whereby the golf club was to take over the. football grounds on the far side of the park The Wellington Rugby .
