An amendme; j was proposed that the 1919-20 Champi „» JJoura be played at Gisborne as an experiment. A good deal of discussion ensued, ui which it was contended thai, owrhg to there being ten clubs affected in the Hawke's Bay ( portion of the Centre as against only two olubs in G'aborne,.the proposal would not be wor.;---ab l& , as it would not be practicable f'J.* so. many clubs, especially the Waipawa and Waapukurau Clubs, to get teams away to Gisborne owing to the uncertainty of the communications with that ni B*"^'8 *"^' A B ainst this it was argued that the Gisborne end shoiild be given a sporting chance, and tliat the proposal "O play the matches every third year was reasonable.
