Excursion to Bavaria. 



Mr Buchanan, Convener of the Excursion Committee, men- 

 tioned that for the Excursion to Bavaria, which was to leave 

 Edinburgh on 29th July, sixty members' names were on the list, 

 and he was hopeful that they would all be able to make the tour. 

 He mentioned that Professor Mayr, of Munich University, had 

 been appointed official guide by the Bavarian Government, 

 and he expressed the belief that the Excursion would be an 

 extremely interesting and instructive one. He said they were 

 much indebted to Dr Borthwick for the trouble he had taken 

 in drawing up the programme. 



Excursion 19 10. 



With regard to the locality of the Excursion next year, Mr 

 Buchanan mentioned that the Council had agreed to recommend 

 the West of Scotland. He hoped that Members would express 

 their views regarding any other district that they might favour. 



Mr FoTHRiNGHAM moved that the West of Scotland be 

 the district, and Mr Macbean seconded. Mr Moon moved 

 that the Border district be selected, and Mr Gammell, to get 

 the feeling of the Meeting, seconded. On the vote being taken, 

 however, a large majority were in favour of the West of 

 Scotland. 



A hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman for presiding 

 brought the Meeting to a close.
