It was decided to hold a sports meeting on April 8, with all day sports. The secretary was instructed to apply to the Board to hold this meeting. It was decided that a provisional programme be drawn up and placed before the next meeting, and Miss Williams, and Messrs Silcock and Galbraith were appointed a committee to draw up the programme.
