Dorian Saker was the first to apply for membership of the dribble-along pack, instituted for those who no longer have anything to do between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. of a Saturday, and on July 4 he kept up well in all departments of the Club's activities. The [unclear: urn] was from the Thorndon Methodist Church, and for it we combined with the church clubs. The course lay up the main road to Wadestown, across the old back road to Ngaio, from there to Khandallah, then down the bridle path to Kaiwarra, and home along Hutt and Tinakori Roads. There were three packs. After achieving the incredible by getting the fast pack lost within half a mile of the start, Frank O'Flynn again led it home, while Peter de la Mare and Ian McDowell both ran well. Breaking away from the medium pack, Ted Collins, Dorian Saker and Ian Morton also put the pace on over the last two or three miles.
