AMATEUR ATHLETICS
WELLINGTON CENTRE
REORGANISATION PLAN
Contending that the centre should confine its activities to providing athletic competition and meetings purely provincial or national in character and administering the sport on behalf of sub-centres under its jurisdiction, Mr. F. Bond introduced proposals at this week's meeting of the Wellington Amateur Athletic Centre aiming at the establishment of more sub-centres. Mr. Bond said that an executive body such as the Wellington Centre should be a body working for the whole of the clubs affiliated to it. As at present constituted and operated the Wellington Centre was, in addition to its funcjtions as an executive body, performing the functions of a sub-centre for the Wellington city and suburban clubs. That was wrong in principle and unfair to the sub-centres and clubs away from the city. .
Mr. Bond suggested it was just common sense to ... provide machinery whereby all clubs would be governed by sub-centres, and in this connection he submitted that the following subcentres be instituted and the whole scheme of athletics in the Wellington Centre put on a sounder basis: (1) Wairarapa; (2) Nelson, Marlborough, and Motueka Clubs; (3) Wellington city, suburban, and country A.A. clubs; (4) Wellington, suburban and country harrier clubs. The constitution of the [centre committee, said Mr. Bond, would be arranged automatically by the registered strength in each subcentre. .This would result in approximately six persons, excluding the president of the centre, secretary, and treasurer. 'Such an executive body, he submitted, would be able to give its undivided attention to: administrative matters concerning the centre's activities. • . ■ .-. ■ ■
The meeting appointed a subcommittee comprising Messrs. A. C. Kitto.'-D. Wilson, R. Watterson, T. W. Leslie,'and'F. Bond to go into the question of reorganisation on the lines suggested by Mr. Bond, the sub-com-mittee, to submit a report to the next monthly meeting. ' .- Mr. Bond suggested that each subcentre be represented on the centre according to its registered numerical strength as follows:—Less than 150 members, one delegate; 150 and less than 250, two delegates; 250 and over, three delegates.
