BUSINESS AT THE ANNUAIi MEETING At the annual meeting of the Feiidiug Hockey Association on Thursday night, Mr. E. A. Garlick, w*ko presiuhd, brought up the question of insurance of players, stating that at the previous annual meeting the subject had been discussed. He pointed out that the executive had not lost sight of the matter and during the year had circularised the various clubs in the association regarding the subject. The response had been disappointing eud apparently the players did not want insurance, After a brief discussion, it was resolved that it be a recommendation to the incoming committee that the matter be dealt with and on endeavour made to seo if a cover for both men and women players could be arranged. Reference was made to the improvements effected at Victoria Park by Mr. P. G. Guy, who stated that the association now had six full playing fields available.
