THE annual general meeting of the New Ireland District Sporting Association was held in the District Officer’s resi dence, Kavieng, on March 5.
Discussion centred mainly on the desira bility of having a club house. The Association has about £BOO of public money but in view of labour and material shortages, it was decided that an ambi tious building plan would be postponed indefinitely, as also would be the restora tion of the golf links. It was decided to concentrate on erecting a small temporary structure at the site of the present tennis courts.
A tennis team from Rabaul was invited to play at Kavieng over the Easter holi days. (The invitation was subsequently accepted by four men and two lady players from Rabaul.) It was agreed to continue the member ship fees at £2/2/- per annum for men and £l/1/- for women.
Election of office bearers resulted in Mr. H. Thackston becoming president; Mrs, J. Read, secretary; Mr. Gibson, honorary auditor; and Sister Harris, Mr.
S. Williams and Mr. lan Downs, commit tee members.
