It was decided to invite the Tauranga Association to stage the 1947 championships, other associations to lend all support possible. Subsidies to Sports Bodies and Organisations: Mr C. Jones explained the objects of and the necessary qualifications for and procedure to be adopted by associations wishing to obtain subsidies from the fund administered by the Department of Internal Affairs and offered his services in an advisory capacity to any associations seeking financial assistance from this direction and expressed a keen desire to assist in every way possible the establishment of boxing schools and the furtherance of the sport in the Bay.
Trophies: On the motion of Mr B. Magee, seconded by Mr C. S. Morris it was decided that delegates make recommendations to their respective associations to the effect that trophies be awarded to winners only during the 1947 season in order to ensure uniformity throughout the Bay of Plenty. A suggestion that the circuit committee should adopt the principle of allowing for an interval of 10 days between tournaments, was favourably received by the meeting, and a recommendation accordingly was made to the circuit committee. Suggested dates for the tournaments were recommended for adoption by local associations.
