THE TUAKAU CLUB ANNUAL MEETING HELD JUNIOR TEAM TO PLAY The president, .Mr F. 0. Bagnall, presided over a fair attendance at the annual meeting of the Tuakau Rugby Football Club last week. In his report the president said that the past season had been most successful and some excellent football had been played. He said that it was gratifying to have had several players chosen for the Mangatawhiri representatives.
