RUGBY NOTES.

An'article -which appeared in tie "Evening Post" about a fortnight ago, concerning the position of "the .local club in the 'Senior A Competition this coining season, has had t-he effect of raising a certain amount "of doubt among players and supporters. Tomake the .position 'quite clear, the club askfcd the Wellington Bugby TTnion to make a further statement on 'the matter. The Bugby Union's reply^reads^ as follows; — ' - *•' The Secretary, Hutt F.C., Lower * . Hutt.' ' ,•-■-■■■

"Dear Sir, —In reply to yout letter of the 6th inst., with reference to your club's position in. the -grade competitions next season, I have to advise yo» that my previous letter 'dated 4/9/29 still holds good and you will be graded as a Senior "A" Team next season if you apply for that grade. When the matter was discussed at a recent meeting' of my committee, your position was not under review, and, the only way that your eluib and I>h.e Wellington. Club's names were mentioned was that of illustration, and did not refer in ianjr way to the merits of either club or to their possible position in.the competitions for the 1930 season.—Touts faithfully, A. E. Neilson, Secretary.' 5

The annual meeting has been fixed for Thursday next, t«he 27th February.

The advisability of entering a Senior "B" team 'in addition to an "A" team for the coming season, "was discussed at the last meeting held by the old committee on the 14th inst. AH members present favoured the entering of a "B" team providing a certaia number of new players are available. Last year's Junior team only requires a little "stiffening" to be gdpd enough to make a fair showing in t«he Senior "B?' grade. \_ %..
