On a physical welfare district basis, payment of grant moneys was approved as follows :

Camps and Conferences As in the past, Branch, assistance was made available for the organization of recreational activities in various camps, such as Y.M.C.A. and health camps, and at the New Zealand University Students' Congress held at Curious Cove, Marlborough Sounds. Another camp for business girls of the Otago area was conducted during the Christmas period. The venue this year was Stewart Island. Information Service Material available for distribution to certificated and advanced recreation leaders has been kept up to date, assisted to a large extent by the interchange of information with overseas recreational agencies. The Branch film library, which is slowly being built up with specialized coaching and recreation films, is receiving extensive use from the district offices. The introduction of film-loops from England into the library has been of great benefit to specialized coaching schemes. Extensive use was made of the athletic series at the Athletic Coaches School
