The Manawatu Sub-Centre advised that several of the clubs in its district had asked for a remission. of their affiliation and registration fees for last season owing to the fact that they had.not functioned. The matter, it was stated, opened up a big question, and the centre was asked for a ruling as to what action should be taken. It was decided to ask the sub-centre to supply a list of the clubs concerned and then refer the matter to the New Zealand Council for consideration. The Harrier Sub-Committee applied for a grant of £15 to cover expenses during the season. It was decided to make a grant of £5 in the meantime.
