At a special meeting of the Marton Swimming Club last evening it was decided that the club be disbanded. The president, Mr A. O. Wimsett, occupied the chair and all present expressed regret that such a step had become necessary. It was decided that the funds b e handed over to the Marton. branch of the Royal Life-Sav-ing Society to be held in trust until such time as another body is formed to control swimming in Marton. A vote of thanks to the president, to those officials who had assisted, and to the secretary, was carried by acclamation.
