xliv. THE ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING 



ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING. 

 Tuesday, 4th May, 1915. 



This meeting was held at the Dorset County Museuhi, 

 the President taking the chair at 12.45. Among those present 

 were the Rev. Herbert Pentin, Canon Mansel-Pleydell, Dr. 

 Colley March, Captain Elwes, Mr. Henry Symonds, and 

 Captain Acland. 



One candidate for membership was elected by ballot, and 

 one additional candidate was nominated. 



Dr. Colley March then read a digest of the reports prepared 

 by himself, Mr. Clement Reid, and Mr. Henry Dewey upon 

 the excavations carried out at Dewlish during the early 

 summer of 1914. These reports are printed in the second 

 portion of this volume. The President, when commenting 

 on the results of the excavation, expressed the regret of the 

 Field Club on learning that Dr. March would no longer be 

 able to act as chairman of the Earthworks Sectional Com- 

 mittee, a position in which his knowledge and experience 

 had been of great value. Mr. C. S. Prideaux exhibited 

 plans and sections of the work at Dewlish which had been 

 drawn by Mr. W. de C. Prideaux, also photographs of the 

 trench and pot holes. 



The Earthworks Committee was re-elected, with the 

 addition of Miss E. E. Woodhouse and the Rev. W. 

 Rhydderch. The Corresponding Secretary of this committee 

 said he hoped that a greater number of the members of the 

 Club would take an active part in the task of preparing the 

 survey, so that it might be finished within a reasonable period 

 of time. The President congratulated Mr. Prideaux and 

 his brother upon their energetic work in this connection, 

 and more particularly with regard to their efforts at Dewlish. 



The next business was the reading of the President's 

 anniversary address, the eleventh of the series which Mr. 

 Richardson had delivered from the chair. Printed copies 

 of the address were afterwards handed to those present, and 

 the text is also printed at p. lii. of this volume.
