MASTERTON CLUB ANNUAL | MEETING MANY NEW JUNIOR MEMBERS. j ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS. The annual meeting of the Masterton I Harrier Club was held in the Y.M.C.A. rooms last night. Mr R. Gully presided over an excellent attendance of junior and senior members. It was decided to hold the official opening of the season on Saturday, April 19. at 2.30 o'clock. Afternoon tea would be provided at the Y.M.C.A. rooms after the run. Many new junior members were elected and it was considered most encouraging for the season to see so many come forward. A special feature would be made of the junior programme as the senior membership had suffered through the loss of 15 men serving with the military forces. It was agreed that the senior club trophy competitions be held in abeyance for the duration of the war and that it be a recommendation to the Harrier Sub-centre that the district championships should also be held in abeyance until after the war.
