The financial question was again discussed, and it was decidel that members and supporters be asked to appeal to any body interested for support.

It was stated that some very good football should be witnessed during the season. Teams which will visit Masterton according to correspondence read at the meeting, include Napier and Manawatu, and possibly Wanganui, besides the various Wellington teams which will be travelling to Masterton practically every Saturday.
