The secretary of the Canterbury District Committee wrote stating that the Committe had approved the change of date for the meeting, from July 13 to July 27th. The secretary of the Racing Conference wrote to the same effect. Three resignations were received and accepted with regret. The secretary stated that the S.C. Hunt had decided that the Point to Point Meeting would take place on June 24. He had made inquiries re the combined meeting of the Waimate and South Canterbury Hunt Clubs Mr Fraser had suggested that the Waimate Club hold their meet on 29th June and the combined meet at Morven on July 6th. Mr Studholme said he thought it would be better to have the combined meeting at Otaio so as to ensure a good following of members from Timaru.

Mr Goldstone moved that the combined meet be held at Otaio, (Springbank) on July 6. He thought that this would suit the South Canterbury Club better, and that failing that, they should fall in with the Timaru suggestion to hold th e meet at Morven.
