"A LOT OF RIGMAROLE"
% Issue of Passes to Club Secretaries MEMBERS' COMPLAINTS "The position xegarding passes for representative games was not at all satisfaetory last year. Can't we formulate a better Bcheme?" asked Mr E, J. Wall at the meeting of the management committee of the Hastings Eugby Football Snb-TJnion last evening when raising the question of complimentary tickets to club coaches, secretaries and others. Mr Wall said that one club secretary In paTticular had not been able to obtain a pass without having to chase round McLean Park lookxng for the secretary of the union (Mr W. H. Anderson) or the chairman (Mr X W. Norrie) on the day of the mateh. * ' Surely the secretary' of a club is to be trusted to the extent of giving him a pass for the season," he said. The secretary, Mr J. Taylor, said that from his past experience he doubted whether any change in the system would be agreed upon. All the passes issued for represeiitative games had to be approved by the management committee of the union, except for n few special privilege passes which could be issued by the chairman. Mr Wall: There was even trouble over a ticket for our own chairman. I The secretary: What game was that? Mr "Wall: Th'e Australian match. i The secretary : Well, he was lucky i to get one, for all passes for that game were issued by the New Zealand Eugby TJion, who controlled the match. j "Club secretaries and others can get a pass by making application for one," said Mr E. M. Hewitt. "They know well beforehand when there is to be a match and can put in tlieir application* for passeS in time to have them approved by the management committee." Mr P. H. Corbin said that, if .they adopted Mr Hewitt 's suggestion, the passes could be sent out to the subttnion and distributed to the -applicants before the game. "There seems to be a lot of rigmaroJe to go through to get a pass, ' ' com- 1 mented Mr L. Andrews. "They seem to hand them out fairly freely in there, but it is hard to get one here," said Mr C. J. Baker. j Diseussion then lapsed. ro actfon being taken . I
