ARAMOHO CREWS WILL BE COMPETING Although the Aramoho Club was not listed in the Press Association message of clubs competing in the regatta, they have definitely entered crews and will be competing, the secretary of the Wanganui Rowing Association (Mr. E. J. Crotty) stated last night. After notification of intention to compete and a list of crews had been sent to the regatta, the secretary of the Aramoho Club sent down a notice of a crew alteration and a telegram advising receipt of this information has been received. This would definitely indicate that the authorities were aware Aramoho was competing and had them listed.
