New Proposal For Swimming

A revolutionary move to reorganise the composition of the management committee of the Canterbury Swimming Centre is to be considered by a special general meeting of the centre on July 14.

The proposal, which has been drawn up by a subcommittee consisting of Messrs D. W. Cain, E. C. Stentiford and Miss Doreen Brown, is designed to spread the work of the committee over more persons and so lighten the burden borne by the key officers of the centre. The proposal calls for the establishment of seven . committees, each to deal with a specific part of the centre’s activities. The chairman of each committee would join the president, vice-president, secretary, ■ treasurer and the centre’s representative on the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association’s council ‘to form an executive committee.

It is proposed that the chairman of compnittees should be elected In the same manner as the’ centre’s officers, but that they should be given power to select the members of their own committees. Committees should be given reasonable power to act. . . The Sub-committee proposes that the committee chairmen and committee members should not necessarily be delegates to the centre. The proposed committees are championships (five members), carnivals (five), travel and selection (five), coaching and teaching (five), publicity and records (three), social (three) and finance (two). It is proposed that the local officer should be chairman of the carnivals committee and the handicapper should be attached; that the three selectors should be members of the travel and selection committee, and that the edu•cational 'officer, registrar and the treasurer should be members pf the coaching, publicity and finance committees respectively.
