Defence Rifle Club
Defence Rifle Club
After six years' recess the Defence Rifle Club shot again on Saturday. Vance Henderson dug out the records and a number of old .303 stalwarts last week and called a general meeting, which elected the following committee:—
- President: R. H. Johnston.
- Vice-President: A. T. S. Howarth.
- Secretary: D. V. Henderson.
- Treasurer: R. G. Anson.
- Committeeman: H. M. Sansum.
Their Immediate aim is to produce a team to shoot for the Haslam Shield at Redcliffs this Easter. With the aid of a number of club members from pre-war days the club should soon be launching out with all its old vigour.
There is a match shoot this Saturday, the first club fixture. Last week they shot as guests of the Suburbs Club at Trentham. The club's rifles have been returned to the army and have been put into good order again. Ammunition is available from the army.
This club is run by misogynists, and they refer all would-be markswomen to the Miniature Rifle Club.
Easter Tournament will show whether VUC riflemen can recapture the Shield which we held in 1937 and 1938.
Thanks to the spirited support of the teams by past players, the Soccer Club of 1946 is well-established and ready to enter a first-class team in the Winter Tournament. The Club intends to achieve the victory it achieved last year. Like all clubs, however, it cannot for ever rely on the support of old members, and is therefore preparing to welcome freshmen who are anxious for a year's sport, and a possible trip to Auckland for the Winter Tournament. Waste no time in contacting one of the Club's officers, namely:
- Jack Walls (Club Capt.), 42-612
- Roy Dickson (Vice-Capt.), 45-012
