PAEROA RUGBY

AFFAIRS OF THE UNION QUESTION OF INSURANCE TEAMS FOR KING’S BIRTHDAY The weekly meeting of the management committee of the Paeroa Rugby Union was held on Monday evening, the chairman, Mr W. F. F. Faber, presiding. The following members were also present: Messrs H. Fraser, E. Meyer, E. Chikott, K. Fitz Henry, R. Todd, E. C. Morgan, W. A. Geary, V. Moloney, J. Verran, J. A. Reddy (treasurer) and the secretary, Mr E. J. McKenzie. A letter was received from the Eastern Suburbs Football Club, Auckland, asking for a game in August. It was decided to arrange a match if tiave] restrictions permitted. Results of the matches played last Saturday were discussed, the third grade match, which ended West 30, United nil, coming in for some com-

ment. The teams’ managers' reports indicated that the efficiency of the teams was seriously impaired by the failure of some players to attend practices. It was moved by Mr Morgan and seconded by Mr Verran that the union recommend to selectors that consideration be given to those players who attend practices. The motion was carried. Insurance Question I The matter of the union insuring representative players was discussed at some length. It was moved by Mr Fraser that owing to the lack of funds the union could not see its way clear

to paying insurance premiums on representative players. Mr Meyer seconded the motion which was carried.

management committee next week on account of the holiday on Monday, June 7. The executive committee, consisting of Messrs Faber, Todd and Reddy, will deal with any urgent matters.
