XXX1J. SECOND WINTER MEETING. 



SECOND WINTER MEETING. 

 Tuesday, 8th February, 1916. 



The President, Mr. NELSON M. RICHARDSON, took the 

 chair, and among those present were Lord Eustace Cecil, the 

 Rev. H. Pentin, Captain J. E. Acland, Mr. Alfred Pope, and 

 Sir Daniel Morris. 



Four candidates, who had been proposed at the previous 

 meeting, were balloted for and declared to be elected. 



One nomination for membership was announced. 



It was decided that 2 15s. should be contributed to defray 

 the cost of the removal of the altar-slab at Broadmayne from 

 its present position of danger. The subject had been dis- 

 cussed at the first meeting of the M inter session, and the Rector 

 of Broadmayne had written to say that the stone would 

 be placed within the church porch. 



The President invited expressions of opinion as to whether 

 the outdoor meetings should be resumed during the coming 

 summer, and added that the executive were in favour of a 

 postponement of such meetings until after the end of the 

 war. Lord Eustace Cecil concurred in this view. Mr. E. S. 

 Rodd hoped that when the outdoor meetings were resumed the 

 Field Club would again visit Chardstock and the neighbourhood 

 of Forde Abbey. At the suggestion of Mr. Alfred Pope it 

 was agreed to defer the question of postponement until the 

 general meeting in May. 



It was resolved to transfer to the library of Sherborne 

 School four documents concerning the endowments of the 

 school, which had been found in the collection of papers 

 relative to the silk industry. A letter of thanks for the gift 

 has since been received from Mr. W. B. Wildman.
