Petition For Winding-Up of Old Club Heard In June
ABOUT 25 people attended the meeting, in Kavieng, on April 16, with a view to resuming the activities of the Kavieng Club which were suspended (or terminated) at the time of the Japanese invasion in 1942.
The sole surviving trustee of the old Club has appealed to the Supreme Court of Papua-New Guinea for direction in disposing of the funds of the old Club.
The case is due for hearing in Port Moresby in June.
Some residents of New Ireland hold that the club activities were merely sus pended and that it never went out of business.
The most important decision at the meeting on April 16 was the motion that “the Kavieng Club now resumes its func tions which were interrupted by the Jap anese invasion of 1942 arid take appropri ate action to contest the petition for the winding up of same.”
The steps to be taken to contest the petition are being kept a close secret for the present.
