(D.S.A.). The inclusion of a district association representative shoot at this meeting is a new addition to the programme and is creating great interest. A new shield, to be known as the S.I.M.R.A. Challenge Shield, has been procured and will probably be on display during part of next week. The shield will be held by the district team scoring the highest aggregate over two shoots by the 10 men (all to count). In addition to the usual programme' of individual and club team shoots, a special women’s team shoot has been arranged. This, together with the women’s individual prize lists, should prove an added inducement to a much greater entry this year than .in the past The Otago Association specially requests that all clubs should endeavour to enter at least one team at the meeting. , . Selected members must advise, before Wednesday, whether they are available to travel and how they are travelling. A bus will be arranged if there are sufficient needing transport.
