LAWN BOWLS MEETING

Formation Of A Far Eastern Body Discussed

Reference to the formation of a "Hong Kong and Far Eastern As- sociation that would command the same status as a Dominion or Commonwealth team, and place the bowlers in the Far East an a same footing as either of the int- ter, while partaking in the Empire Games, was made by Mr. B. E. Maughan at the committee meet- ing of the Hong Kong Lawn Bowls Association which was hed yeter- day at St. George's Building.

There was a full complement of members present, presided over by Mr. H. Nish, supported by Mr. C B Hosking (Hon. Secretary) and recommendation that Mr. Maug- han's disclosure be fully examined at the annual genera meeting of the local association, was unani- mous y agreed upon when put to the vote..

It was agreed after discussion that the Annua' General" Meeting. should take place on March 24, the Hon. Secretary stating that he woud write to Messrs. Jardine Matheson & Co., for the kind use of their Board Room. Should 2 negative rep'y be received, the Committee agreed to give him full power to choose another date close proximity.

In reading the report I was very much struck with the increase in the activities in the movement in Hong Kong. I can only put that down to the tremendous amount of energy and devotion which have been given by Scouters all over the Colony and the public nave a tremendous amount - to owe to Scouters who give tours and hours to run the various troops. This is all voluntary work and they don't expect any thanks but I feel that, the least thing that we can do is to recognise, their work in train- ing boys to become useful citizens. It is not so much work done by "commissioners and deputy-com- mssioners but by the man on the I spot in charge of the troops. feel perhaps that the association is to blame somewhat because we do not make ourselves known auf- ficiently.

COUNCIL MEMBERS

Mr. Maughan Lald that he thought the association should so be called because of the Colony's past representation in the British

Games. Mr. Munro, of Shanghai was in all agreement

The Hong Kong and Far East- ern Association once got under way, woud be affilated to the International Bowling Board," and would thus ensure al official games, such as Interports being played according to IB.B. rules.
