The date of the annual general meeting of delegates at Hamilton was fixed for Wednesday, September 7. An application was before the council from the Otago Golf Club with reference to the 1928 championship meeting, but as it was found there was not sufficient time available to fully consider this matter, it was decided to hold a special meeting of the council on Monday next to deal with this, and also with the question of the next competition for the Kirk-Windeyer Cup.
