TAIHAPE

RUGBY UNION The Management Committee of the Taihape Rugby Union met on Monday evening, when there were present Messrs J. Quirk (chair), C. H. Transom, R. Schofield, L. A. Hebberd, W. O’Connor, J. Webb, A. Smith, W. Pine, and the secretary (Mr C. L. Mullany). It was decided to invite the Wanganui juniors to visit Taihape. Paul Carroil was registered as * member of the Hautapu Football Club. The secretary was instructed to write to the Borough Council asking that hot showers be provided under the grandstand for the convenience of footballers. The meeting was of the opinion that a hot water service of this kind was essential. ; It was also resolved to suggest to the council that the end of the grandstand should be glassed in in order to keep out the rain and wind. Commenting on the Wanganui , match, the secretary remarked that Taihape had been well and truly beaten. Owing to the clubs being unable to field teams on the King’s Birthday, the fixtures arranged for this day were postponed till Saturday. Particulars are advertised.

The club champion drove almost to the foot of the hill and then holed the blind approach shot, to make golfing history. GENERAL NEWS “You have a good grandstand here, but the ends should be glassed in so as to keep out the wind and rain. The stand is too exposed and one might just as well be out in the open,” declared two Auckland visitors after attending last Saturday’s Rugby match between Taihape and Wanganui. The local Rugby Union has decided to approach the Taihape Borough Council in regard to the matter.
