Guy (Kaponga), proposed that all members competing in the teams match must be members of a 1 club affiliated to the Association, urging fc'tiit it waa not fair that some clubs should have to assist the Association by , payment of an affiliation fee'whilst others coii'd avoid paying the guinea fee. Seconded by Rflmn. Carey (Patea). It was pointed out by Minn. Jackson ' (Stratford) that unaffiliated members ' had to pay 2s (id extra entrance fee. Many dubs entered in tjhe teams match merely for the sake of making an entry, but if they had to - pay £2 2s for the ' sake of a possible or impossible chance of w'i;in!?:g .£:"> thev would not enter. Rfir»i\ W. (slaughter (Suburbs) said the A.isuratioji was behind the times in ins'isfirg on an affiliation fee.

King (Tnglewood) jfOP-K TARGETS. Rflm. C. Jackson (S+ratford) said thai •-. the marking on_ the whole was splendid and the range officers had handled mat - tors very creditably. The targets coulc , hardly be improved. Additional targeti ), would facilitate the conduct of this rapidly growing meeting. He movec - that this meeting request the rangi 1 ' trustees to proyide from three to fire !. extra targets before next meeting. Seconded by Rflmn. C. Speck (Strat ford), and carried unanimously. \ QUALIFICATIONS OF MEMBERS. Pres. A. H. Guy (Kaponga), considerec ,; that a rule should be introduced making . it compulsory that members should bi , duly sworn i n for at least a montl .' before being allowed to represent theii club in a team. This, he said, woulc . do away with any chance of a good mai being transferred just for a meeting. Hi f moved to that effect. ' In a desultory discussion the positioi of honorary members was touched on the present rule permitting only en ' rolled active members to participate ii l> teams matches. e The resolution was carried unani mously, as also was a further resolutioi asking the executive to frame a ruh to enable honorary members to com pete.
