Winter Tournament Constitution

Winter Tournament Constitution

A tedious hour or two was passed on the Winter Tournament Constitution. The thirty-nine clauses were taken singly, with little or no discussion on most. Attempts to cut down the cost resulted in eight amendments to the constitution:

Moved Symon, CUC: That Tournament be cut down from eight days to five. These five days allow for four days for sport and one rest day.

Moved Symon, CUC: That in future there be no emergencies for fencing teams.

Moved Symon, CUC: That the miniature rifle shooting contest be removed from Tournament and the ICI Shield be decided by postal results. After some discussion it was decided that this would be unsatisfactory owing to differing range conditions and it was finally decided to keep the contest in, but to cut the team down from four men to three.

Moved Symon, CUC: That golf be eliminated from Winter Tournament.

Moved Symon, CUC: That it was impractical to hold a press conference. This was passed with the remark by Mr. O'Brien (VUC) that they had served no use in the past.

Moved Symon, CUC: That no additional sport be admitted to Winter Tournament before 1950.

Moved Symon, CUC: That no sum of more than 10 be allotted to any haka party. (Interjection, Grey (OU) I'd be happier if it was tenpence.)

The only further amendment to the constitution was the decision to make the Drama Festival a two-night season instead of one as at present. The findings of the Conference were submitted to the Tournament Committee.
