It was decided that, providing the New Zealand 1 Amateur Swimming Association does not restore the overseas representation fund suspended last year, the centre should create its own overseas representation fund. This fund would be supported by a levy upon each affiliated senior swimmer. On -Mr. J. J. Enwright s suggestion it also was decided that clubs outside the Auckland Centre's territory inviting prominent Auckland swimmers to compete at carnivals should be asked to contribute to the centre's representation fund, if it is Instituted, before their applications to arrange appearances by tho swimmers are granted. Replying to the centre's request for a ruling, the New Zealand Council advised that the well-known wrestling referee, Mr. Easwell Sidford, was definitely an amateur Swimmer.
