This is the first North-East line program of the alternating East to North-East rotation established in 1972. It also represents the second year of Federation guaranteed prize money. To give some relevance, in terms of dollars, a bag of Collegian Peas at the time, which are now all but unprocurable, were sold by the Federation to the members at $10.00 per 80kg bag and imported Maple Peas from New Zealand were approximately $15.00 - $18.00 per 60kg bag. Close study of the program will provide pointers to the relevant changes to distance, timing and format that has taken place over the years.
