DRAWS AND DATES

LEVY FOR "HONORARY" MEMBERS.

The executive of the Wellington Bowling Centre met last evening, Mr. S. M. Stone (chairman) presiding. Mr. J. H. Kershaw asked for a ruling as to whether clubs should pay the Is affiliation levy on all members, whether honorary or true bowling members. Mr. F. Meadowcroft said that the Kelburn Club had a small membership of sons of bowlers who by payment of £1 Is a year were allowed to use the billiard tables of the club. Was the levy to be paid on these? It would mean that the leVy would have to be collected for anyone enjoying a game of cards or billiards in clubs. The chairman gave it as his ruling that under the Dominion Council rules, as they affected the Wellington Centre, the levy must be collected. Seatoun, Lyall Bay, and Eastbourne all had members of other clubs who joined for-Sunday bowling on. payment of £1 Is a year. All these clubs paid the levy on those members, and the billiard members of the Kelburn Club must be 4 similarly paid for. SENIOR PENNANT DRAW.
