Moved B. Drown, seconded M. Small that J. Newbigin and the secretary write a strong letter of protest that the Auckland Championships have been allocated the same weekend as the Watties.   Carried.

AUDITOR’S REPORT:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the hon. auditor has been unable to complete an audit of the books but this matter should be rectified early in the New Year.

KEYS:   It was brought to the Committee’s notice that at least one member had been able to get a key cut from the new issue and as this was contrary to the guarantee given by the locksmith that unauthorised duplicates would be unprocurable, the President is to investigate the matter.

EAST COAST ASSOCIATION:
As the Waipukurau Club had decided not to affiliate to the New Zealand Association, this precluded the forming of the East Coast Association for the present.

There being no further business the meeting closed at 9 p.m.

The next Meeting was set for February 11 and the A.G.M. for March 4th.

Confirmed.

P.F. Foote
