Sporting representatives of at least 18 Pacific Territories will meet in Noumea in early March to dis cuss the possibility of a South Pacific Games.

The talks, which will last a week, have been arranged by the South Pacific Commission.

They follow proposals made at the South Pacific Conference at Rabaul in 1959. The talks will dis cuss possibilities, the type of events to be included, and when and where the first games will be held. Most territories have already indicated their support of a games. (See PIM, Feb., p. 20).
