The meeting discussed the programme for the sports meeting to be held next March, and agreed on several amendments thereto. It was decided to provide for fiat races for country school children under 3,9, 10, 11, and open respectively in both the girls’ and boys’ section.* It was recognised that the association had received good support from the country schools, and should encourage them in every wav. The committee also decided to move the point of starting the relay races. These races at the next sports will begin at a point 50 yards down the straight, so that the first batch of competitors off the mark will have a straight run of 50 yards in which to get up speed.
