The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1906

Athletic Club

Athletic Club.

The Amateur Athletic Club held its third annual general meeting on the 24th September. The report for the season just ended referred to the successful sports meeting held in March, and recommended the holding of a similar meeting before the Easter tournament next year. The hope was expressed that as many students as possible would take an active interest in training next year, and that those away from Wellington during the long vacation would do some training before the vacation ended. It was suggested that those students living out of Wellington who have any desire for honours in athletics, should let the Secretary have their addresses.

The meeting congratulated the retiring Secretary, T. E. Y. Seddon, on his election to the House of Representatives, and thanked him for his past services, and also thanked H. W. King for his services to the Club prior to his removal to Christchurch. Special mention was made of the indebtedness of the Club to Mr J. P. Firth for the use of the Wellington College grounds for training. One paragraph in the report pointed out with reference to the University Tournament, that "while Victoria College has won both the Tennis Cup and the Debating Scroll, the Athletic Shield has not yet come into our possession;" and expressed the desire that every effort should be made to secure more worthy representation of the College next year.

The following officers were elected:—President, Professor Brown; Vice-Presidents: Professors and lecturers; Captain: G. V. Bogle; Hon. Secretary, J. M. Hogben; Hon. Treasurer, F. W. B. Goodbehere; Committee: F. A. Wilson, T. N. Holmden and other officers of the Club ex officio; Hon. Auditor: W. Gillanders; Delegate to Wellington Centre: J. M. Hogben.
