Strictly Business — Hockey Club's Meeting

Strictly Business

Hockey Club's Meeting

Twenty-two sturdy souls waited impatiently till eight-twenty last Thursday night for the opening of the annual general meeting of the Hockey Club.

Suddenly Kingi Tahiwi, the late secretary (with accent on the late) dashed in very breathless, and the meeting slowly got under way.

The meeting was uneventful and even Mr. Kennard's proposal that the last person who belched should be ejected provoked little enthusiasm.

The annual report showed that last season was quite up to standard, and that the club generally was in a far more thriving condition that the majority of students assume.

The club has decided to include vigoorous one night per week physical training in its 1936 plan. The insurance fund is to be fostered energetically and in general club activities and business will receive active stimulation. The number of teams to be entered will be increased, provided only that enough new members are forthcoming who are keen; these need not necessarily have played hockey before.

The election of officers was as follows:—Patron, Mr. G. F. Dixon; President, Mr. A. M. Cousins; Vice-Presidents, last year's invincible cohort of eighteen were all re-elected, and in additon a new name was added-that of Mr. N. R. Jacobson; Club Captain, Mr F. H. Stewart; Secretary, Mr. F. H. Oram; Treasurer, Mr. L. Denby; Committee, Messrs. Grant, Kennard and Webb; Delegates W.H.U.; Messrs. Stewart, Foster, Kennard and Tahiwi.

The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chair.
