The question of the £5 a year rent to the Rugby Union for the training sheds was advanced and it was decided to secure the opinion of other clubs with a view to making representations to the Rugby Union for a reduction. With i-egard to the payment of sub-scx-iptions, it was decided that a "blaclc" list be compiled of the names of those who had not'paid their subscriptions for last year, particularly third graders, with a view to disallowing them to play for the club or to be transfex-red to any other club. The delegates to the Rugby Union were instructed to oppose sxxch an early opening of the season as is now sugr gested — namely, the first Saturday before Easter. Members favoured that the Saturday after Easter was soon enough. . Meanwhile the first tx-aining night was set for Tuesday, April 1. Regular training nights are to be the same as last year. It was decided to place another £25 on fixed deposit as a trust fund for building a training shed, 'reaching £50 in that fund now. Mr Foster appealed for the suppprt of the club in making the school fair on April 5 a success and several members promised their assistance.
