The general meeting called to consider a scheme for erection of a pavilion at the courts was well attended, nearly sixty being present, and Mrs E Dixon, vice-president of the club, was in ,the chair. Owing to. othp,r meetings being held, the attendance would probably have been much larger. Crs. J. G. Osborne aijd J. M. Townsend, chairmen respectively of Finance and Reserves Committees, were present, as representing, the Borouch Council. ■M r Kururangi opened the discussion by briefly sketching a proposal to have a pavilion, if arrangements could be made. Mr Horner said be had lookea mto the matter, and would be pleased to help in any way possible. said that it was first, lijecessary to affirm the suggestion to build a pavilion, and on his motion it was resolved that, provided financial arrangements could be made, the club arrange to erect a pavilion at the courts.* A further motion was also passed that, subject to. the approval of the council the pavilion be erected in the position suggested, on the side of the courts. Mr Horiier’s suggestion was to make* two rooms, each I4ft. by 14ft., with a kitchen -between, allowing of a verandah in front. Mr Yearbury gave - particulars of the amount of funds in hand, and the probable amount to be available from subscriptions. He urged members to pay their subscriptions as early -as possible. Some discussion took? place on alternative sites suggested, and eventuially it was decided to set up a committee consisting of Messrs E. Dixon, F. W. Horner, J. G. Osborne, Burgess, F. Bone, AV. Gilbert, Kururangi and Yearbury, to go thoroughly into the question of raising funds and interview the council and put before them' the details of proposed scheme. The chairman said they would have to submit plans, specifications aiid general details. He said the council were always good tp the club, and lie felt sure that if the members showed enthusiasm they would get a lot of assistance. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded, the chairman, and the meeting then/ adjourned. At a subsequent meeting of the committee it was arranged to meet the Reserves Committee of the Council to confer and decide on the matter c,f site for the pavilion. A deputation will wait on the council at their next meeting to submit plans, and in tlie meantime the' club’s executive will make a. special effort to get in subscriptions so that tlie deputation can put as favourable a statement of finances as possible before the council.
