•'it a meilmjr of tlic committee of the Ilawera Bowling Club hold on Friday, the question of getting a team to go to Auckland at the end of this month \va.« discussed (reports the local Star.) A number of members signified willingness to go if live «r six rinks could bo secured, and it was thought thot this number could be obtained if other clubs in Son Hi Tavar.aki would join in the nrojeet. The. president and secretary were, therefore authorised to communicate with other clubs. Last year a party came down frcm Auckland, and gave a pre-sing invitation to South Taranaki cluhs to return the visit. It may be added that at the end of this month a New Plymouth team is going to Auckland to fulfil engagements with some. Auckland clubs, and if a South Taranaki team went at the same time it cculd play clubs outside the New Plymouth itinerary and possibly a combined match against Auckland could be arranged, indeed, this litter suggestion was made by a prominent New Plymouth player during the recent tournament, but of course, quite unollieially, as the New Plymouth committee hart not been consulted Th,. general idea is to go to Auckland en the list Thursday in February and put in a week.
