A good deal of discussion took place, over the question of finance. The construction of a concrete pitch, and the purchase of equipment, it is estimated, will cost over £40,. and the club is faced with the problem of raising this amount.

It was decided, on the motion of Mr Matheson, seconded by Mr Johnson, that the sub. be £1; members under 18 on November Ist, 10/-. All subs are due on that date.

Mr T. Johnson moved: That the headmaster of the Helensville school be asked to select three best all round players from his pupils, and that free membership bo given these boys.—Carried unanimously.

Those present thought this a very good idea to encourage cricket amongst the boys of school age.

It was decided to record in the minutes the thanks of the club to Mr F. W. Strange for his generous action in allowing a pitch to be constructed on his property. The question of forming a Kaipara Cricket Association was discussed. It was the general opinion that an Association should be formed, and a competition be held the coming season. It is expected that at least six teams will compete : Helensville, (2), Kaukapakapa, Makarau Glorit, and Kaipara Flats, and if possible, a team from Waimauku district.

Messrs Wallace and Matheson were appointed delegates to a conference proposed to be held re this matter on September 13th.

It was decided that the club's opening be fixed for Labour Day (October 25th).
