B mmuld probably Vie ihe better plan tor the annual meeting to ii.\ the dates, and while the delegates were assembled decide where Jlie matches were to lv played. The meeting should also dc•ide as to the sending in ol results to leadquarters. Not one was officially chronica lied last year, the only medium being the newspaper. .Another matter which has given an unfavourable impression to the Dominion .Association ol this centre is the impossibility to supply informal ion x ski'd for by the governing body in respect to clubs' officers, etc. home of the clubs do not tail to send in returns when requested, hut others do noi reply. In consequence the centre ■amiot send its returns forward. Iheu i gaui the repeated requests for levy ■laviiHUl.s should not lie required. As a matter of fact, ‘.he centres obligation ■<. the Dominion Association in this respect for last year still remains unudlilled. The foregoing are matters which should seriously have the attention of clubs.

Resolved to invite the Wellington Centro to return the visit ,of the local centre. It was hoped this coifld be arranged for during next season. t It was pointed out that the Takaka Club seldom had visits from other clubs, and it was decided to make every effort to 'get the citv and counter ‘teffiins to visit it.,...
