Meeting Held to Discuss Walk

The meeting of the "International Walking Competition 1994" took place on Friday at the Moore Memorial Church, the new body being formed to officiate in place of that which was dissolved at the annual general meeting of the old group. H. Howard was elected to the chair and others present included Colin Ross, George Chow, Sze, M. Neugebauer, Mf. Peneguel, N.S. Isaacs and a few young Chinese walkers, and three newspaper foreign representatives.

'After' considerable discussion, was proposed and passed that an International Walking Association be formed, but that a further meeting called on October 19, to confirm this proposal, after all international athletic groups interested in walking had been circularized to this effect fu order to obtain as much international support as possible. [Howard was elected acting honorary secretary until the new body was formed and the new committee elected. This will take place at the next meeting.
