Being Rebuilt

New Guinea Club Being Rebuilt And Reconstituted

A SPECIAL general meeting of mem bers of the New Guinea club was held in Rabaul on January 23, and the following executives were appointed: President: Mr. A. J. Gaskin.

Vice-President: Mr. J. J, Gilmore.

Treasurer: Mr. A. J. Thomas.

Secretary: Mr. L. H. Corbett.

Committee: Messrs. W. C. Rowe, L.

Hyland, E. S. L. Burke, G. D. Kent, P. F.

Bailey.

It was the wish of members that im mediate steps be instituted to re-form the Club and plans are being prepared for the erection of a temporary Club building.

Members not now in Rabaul will be interested to learn that the walls of the old building are in good condition, except for a few scars, from bomb splinters. The whole of the concrete flooring is in ex cellent condition.

The executives are very anxious to com pile a complete list of members. All known members are being notified of the Club’s intended activities, and requested to furnish details to the Secretary of mem bership—that is, date of joining, date to which subscriptions were paid, and whether town or country members.

It is realised that, through lack of pre sent addresses, notices will not reach all members, and so former members who wish to continue membership, and who have not been communicated with, are being asked to send their addresses direct to The Secretary, New Guinea Club, Rabaul, at once.

Appeal To Former Sports Club Members AT the request of Mr. V. B. Pennefather, president of the Kokopo Sports Club, we publish the following; “All former members of the Kokopo Sports Club now resident in Australia are requested to communicate with the honorary secretary as soon as possible.

The club is desirous of ascertaining whether the said members wish to retain membership as country members. Write to The Secretary, Sports Club, Kokopo, New Guinea.
