A meeting of the Management Committee of the Bush Rugby Union.was held in Pahiatua when there was a good attendance of members.

Advice was received from the Puketoi sub-Union to the effect that it had chosen Mr W. . Ryan to referee Saturday’s representative game against Bush. The Manawatu Rugby Union notified that it would be unable to arrange home and home games with Bush this year.
