WELLINGTON RUGBY

Permission for the Royal New Zealand Air Force to hold a parade of the A.T.C. Wellington Wing at Athletic Park on the day of the inter-Island match was granted at this week's meeting of the .Wellington Rugby Union's management committee. The parade, it was stated, would be at 2 p.m., and there be an inspection by the Governor-General, who would take the salute during a march past. With regard to a match with Taranaki at New Plymouth, in August, it was decided to inform the Taranaki Rugby Union that it was not possible to fit in a date. The Air Force team was given a bye for July 24, on which date it would play at Masterton for the Central Group Cup. A complaint by the Petone Club that notification of a default to its junior team had not been given on a recent occasion when 'it travelled to Wakefield Park was referred to the Porirua Club.
