MEN'S ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING LAST NIGHT. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. ("Times-Age" Special.) The annual meeting of the Wairarapa Men’s Hockey Association was held at Carterton last evening. Delegates were present from the Carterton, Dalefield, Old Boys and Wesley clubs, Mr J. Fisher (patron) and Mr C. N. Cole (vice-president) were also present. Mr G. Hayne (president) was in the chair. The balance-sheet showed that there was a credit balance of £9 12s 5d in the bank,, and a £lO free of interest loan, making a total of £l9 12s sd. This was considered very satisfactory considering that no King’s Birthday tournament had been held last year. The amendments to the association’s rules drawn up by a special meeting last season were adopted. Owing to a number of players going into camp to complete their training the season will not commence till May 17.
