The Wairarapa Rugby Union wrote to inform the board of the dates of the annual game with Hawke’s Bay at Napier, the return game to take place on a date to be fixed during July. The junior representative games will be played on the same dates as the seniors with the localities reversed. The Napier Borough Council wrote granting the union the exclusive use of McLean Park for the season on the same terms as in previous years. Championship fixtures are to commence on Saturday the 22nd. inst. in Hastings and Napier. All grades will be catered for with the possible exception of the fifth grade in Napier. A letter written on behalf of the combined Dannevirke, Waipawa and Hawke’s Bay Hospital Boards was received requesting that a deputation be received from the above bodies to discuss the question of a scale of fees chargeable to footballers who are injured while playing the game. Members considered that the deputation would be wasting their time. In response to a query the chairman stated that he was unaware that the Hawke’s Bay Automobile Association bad been similarly communicated with regarding motor accidents. It was finally decided to inform the board of the rates of meetings and at the same time enclose a copy of the union’s rules governing the insurance of players.
