The balance sheet showed receipts at £ll3 5s lOd and expenditure £ll6 5s 4d, leaving a credit balance of £2B 19s 6d. The following officers were elected: Patron. Mr. L. G. Armstrong; president, Mr. S. A. Empson; vice-presi-dents, Messrs. R. A. Coyne, R. Laurie and A. E. Patterson; hon. secretary, Mr. G. M. Blair; hon. treasurer, Mr. A. G.

Blomfield. J. Coyne, A. J. Tailbv, Brewer, G. Jeffs and S. Smith. In moving that Mr. Empson be again elected president, Mr. R. A. Coyne said that as a rule he favoured the position being changed annually, but as Mr. Empson had done such good work, it would not be in the interest of the club to make a change. Mr. Empson’s election was carried by acclamation. It was decided that the annual subscription be 3s 6d for senior members and Is 6d for junior members under 17 years of age. The question of forming a Life-Sav-ing Club will be discussed at the next committee meeting. In reference to instruction for school children, it was the general opinion of the meeting that too much could not be done in this respect. The matter will be brought forward at the next meeting. Appreciation was expressed of the ; manner in which many residents had ■ assisted in erecting the seating ac- j commodation at the baths last season. ; The thanks of the club was due for j their public-spirited action.
