Well over 60 potential runners were present at the Annual General Meeting of the club. Officers were elected as follows:

Patron: Mr. G. F. Dixon; Chairman: Mr. G. Sherwood; Club Captain: Mr. M. Poole; Vice-Captain: Mr. J. C. Hawke; Secretary: Mr. A. V. Cole; Delegates to the Centre: D. Hefford and J. Eccles; Publicity Officer: T. Blundell.

The season opened officially on the 12th April, when this club was represented by 54 runners out of a total of more than 200. This was a record. VUC was the Captain of the day, and as such started the runners on the three mile journey. Entertainment for the spectators was provided in the last lap by VUC challenging the other competitors to a three-legged race.

  • April 26.—Run from Karori.
