Hui Marae Club

As the meagre attendance at functions arranged by the Club did not justify their continuance, the Committee has to a certain extent altered the policy of the Club. Instead of holding separate functions, the Hui Marae has assisted other Clubs with their activities. Two dances were held in conjunction with the Haere-mai Club, while assistance was given with the dance after the last night of the Extrav. and with providing costumes for the Procession.

Several skating parties were arranged, which were very well patronised, and proved popular.

With regard to the new policy of the Club, the Committee intends to confine its activities to improving the Women's Common Room, which is greatly in need of the feminine touch. The Committee hopes eventually to have the windows holed and the floor properly swept by the cleaners, and are working towards this end by means of moral suasion. The Committee also suggests that some of the copies of "Punch" and the "Bookman." might be left behind by industrious collectors, to fill the empty bookshelves. Donations of furniture, books, cushions, and other donations towards a better, brighter room will be gratefully received.
