In connection with the opening day there will be a civic reception and arrangements are being made to hold inter-house sports on that day. For the day of the quickstep competition it was decided to take out an insurance policy for £SOO against rain. Arrangements are to be made for the reservation of seats on the main grandstand. Billeting arrangements were completed and band “fathers” were appointed to look after the interests oi each competing band. It is, expected that there will be eight A grade bands and 13 B grade bands taking part.
