A ConversAZIonE was held in the Town Hall, July 18, 1873, 
which was well attended, and on this occasion our President, 
the Rev. Canon Kinastry, made a short address. We also had 
the pleasure of our President’s company on the excursion to 
Church Stretton, when all our Members seemed thoroughly to 
enjoy themselves. 
Your Committee take this opportunity of thanking the 
Mayor, R. Gree, Esa., for his kindness in placing the Town 
Hall at their disposal for the Annual Conversazioné. They also 
thank those Noblemen and Gentlemen who, by opening their 
Houses and Grounds to the Society, have so greatly contributed 
to the enjoyment of the Field Excursions. 
. In mentioning the Field Excursions, we have pleasure in 
acknowledging our obligations to all those Members who have 
kindly come forward to act as guides, and especially to Mr. 
Macxintosu, who, by his knowledge of the surrounding country, 
has often led us to places and objects that might otherwise have 
escaped our observation.
