TANEATUA & MURUPARA
TOMORROW’S SPORTS . meetings , The Whakatane district can be described as well and truly in the throes of the sports meeting and gymkhana epidemic. Even during the height of the Home Guard Gymkhanas when the gatherings were first brought into fashionable prominence, the procession of events could not hold a candle to the present campaign resuting from the R.S.A. Queen Carnival. Tomorrow’s gala event as far as the Carnival is concerned belongs to Taneatua where a first class sports meeting will be conducted under the aegis of the efficient local committee which has earned so high a reputation in the past for its efforts. Every class of sporting activity has been catered for and it remains only for the weather to be fine and the public to ensure the attendance to give complete success to the effort.
At Murupara, the first sports meeting of any proportion to be held in that district takes place and a bus leaves Whakatane at 8.30 a.m. A feature of the meeting is the liberal prize money which with trophies totals £3OO, and enables the programme to initiate a £2O open jump.
