FOXTON SWIMMING CLUB

COMMITTEE MEETING,

A committed meeting of the Foxton Swimming Club was held in Walls’ Rooms last evening, presided over by Mr. H. Hutchins (President). Also present were Messrs D. Christie, T. Fuller, A. Walls, R, Hornblow and the secretary (Mr. D. R. Barron). A letter was received from the Borough Council stating that the Council had agreed to make a grant of £l6 10s towards the cost of installing the electric light in the baths.

Vote of thanks was accorded the Council. OFFICIALS FOR CARNIVAL. Officials for the carnival were elected as follows: —

Judges: Messrs Christie, Perreau and J. K. Hornblow; touch judges: Messrs H. and R. Hornblow; timekeepers: Messrs Neville, Kirkland and Pritchard; call stewards: P. J. Jack; starter: P. J. Jack; blackboard steward: C. Proctor; protest committee: club committee. The committee ' discussed the question of providing seating accommodation for the sports and it was decided, to erect temporary seats for the occasion.

To-morrow evening at 7 o’clock three relay teams from the camp will try conclusions with Foxton representatives in the local baths. Napier’s best swimmers will be present and some good races are anticipated. The Club regrets the delay experienced in getting the events oU last week, but this was unavoidable, owing to the men from camp arriving back late after a day’s “shoot” at Himatangi. The Napier Battery will not be shooting tomorrow and anticipate being able to leave camp at 6.30 p.m., which should enable the sports to commence at 7 o’clock sharp.
