Other general arrangements for the opening were also agreed upon.

It was resolved to immediately proceed with the erection of wire-netting ,on the south-western end of the club’s new green, which will later carry creepers. Mr Hallam was authorised to procure samples of the club’s colors, the_ same to lie laid before the next meeting of the committee. A number of new mats, to provide for the new rule which requires the placing of both feet on the mat, were ordered to be procured, while a donation of eight fine mats were received

from Mr J. D. Jeune, who was thanked for his liberality. The question of telephonic connection with the exchange was raised, but was deferred till next season. Application for permission to play a series of games in the “G.T. Challenge Feathers” was received, and permission was readily granted. Several small items were also dealt with, and the meeting adjourned.
