The third excursion, arranged for Mancetter and Merevale, had 
to be omitted owing to the unfortunate indisposition of one of 
the leaders. 
The election of President for the ensuing season took place at 
the April meeting, when Dr. G. Harris Morris, who has for so 
many years done such good work for the Society, was unanimously 
elected. 
It is gratifying to note that the number of subscribing members 
is larger now than it has ever been before, the figures having risen 
from 211 to 215; a small but satisfactory increase, shewing that 
the Society not only holds its own, but continues to rise in 
favour. ‘There are also eight honorary members and three 
associates. 
Mr. G. Morland Day, who has acted as honorary secretary 
during the past year, finds that he is unable to continue the duties 
in connection with the post, and retires from his office with the 
hearty thanks of the Society for the able manner in which he has 
managed its affairs during the year and for the time and care he 
has devoted to them. 
During the last summer Mr. Fleming found it necessary to give 
the Society notice to quit its premises at No. 46, High Street, as the 
site was required by Messrs. Worthington & Co. for building 
purposes. The Committee after careful considerauon decided to 
take for a year another room at No. 30, High Street, the rent of which 
was £10, as against £6 that they had been paying for the old 
room. Messrs. Worthington & Co. announced that they would 
be glad if the Society would give up possession immediately, and 
if this were done, they would, in consideration of the trouble 
caused, pay all the expenses of removal, and also pay the first 
year’s rent of the new room. It is needless to remark that this 
generous offer was immediately accepted, and the habitation of 
the Society is now No. 30, High Street. The Committee take 
this opportunity of drawing attention to the fact, that at this room 
there is a fair collection of archzeological remains, and an excellent 
library ; and they would be glad if it were better patronised by 
members.
