Club History cont.

• The earliest programme we have in our historic records is dated October 3rd, 1925. This in fact is published as the 23rd Annual Swimming Gala held at the Corporation Baths, Fountain Street, Morley.

The President at this time was Mr Peter Bradley, Esq. The Vice Presidents : Councillors J Harrop, D Moss, D Dickinson, M Dixon; H Scarth, H.N Pilkinton, H.F. Ingle, F Garside, T B Pease, H Pinder, L Pyrah, A Dance, J W Hargreaves, J Crowther and W Clough. The club Secretary at the time was Mr G R Ainsworth. A committee of twelve and an official handicapper completed the list of officials.

• The Notice to Competitors included an instruction that swimmers must wear A.S.A. regulation costumes with drawers underneath (how times have changed), and all objections had to be made to the Secretary immediately after the race along with a deposit of five shillings (a great amount in those days). The amount being returned if the complaint was upheld otherwise it was forfeited.
