ALL BLACKS' TOUR
INVITATION TO MARGATE The 1924 All Blacks were hospitably received by the citizens of Margate while in England, and the Mayor of the borough is anxious that the New Zealand team should visit Margate during the tour of Great Britan this year. At this week's meeting the management committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union received a letter from the Mayor of Margate, Mr. F. L. Pettman, extending a hearty invitation to the NewZealand team to visit Margate for any special training required prior to important matches in London this year. " I recall on the last occasion the All Blacks were over here," the Mayor wrote, " we were privileged to welcome them to Margate." It was decided to inform the Mayor that his invitation would be referred to the manager of the team, at the same time thanking the people of Margate for the hospitality extended to the 1924 All Blacks.
