Amateur athletics have of late taken a new lease of life in Feilding and under the control of the present committee of the Feilding Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club have been meeting with support from both the public and athletes, which is very gratifying to the committee. Several members of the local club will be competing at the championship meeting on AVednesday. Preparations for the next local meeting are well in hand and the committee is of the opinion that the large number of

entries and enquiries that are being received from distant athletic centres indicate the success of the venture Local support has also been very good and the committee feels that the lean years the club has been through are well on the way to being thrown off, and the club again made one of the leading circle in New Zealand athletics.
