8th

At a special extra meeting a Treasurer was found for the  Northern Zone - the possibility of the dissolution of the Zone has therefore receded. At the same meeting David Rutt unexpectedly agreed to carry on as Competition Secretary for one more year. The Zone Championships will therefore take place as normal at Barnard Castle. The possibility of holding a "North Yorkshire Championships" in lieu of this competition (discussed at the last committee meeting) will not therefore be pursued for this season.
