A vote of thanks to the retiring Hon. Secretary (Miss Jean 

 Agnew) was proposed by Mr. Joseph Maxwell, and seconded by 

 Mr. Robert Patterson, and Mr. Nevin H. Foster briefly thanked 

 the members present on behalf of Miss Agnew. 



The next item was a discussion upon the best means of 

 disposing of the surplus Proceedings and other Publications of the 

 Club. The report of the sub-committee appointed to look into 

 the matter having been read by Mr. A. W. Stelfox, it was proposed 

 by Mr. Nevin H. Foster, and seconded by Mr. W. R. Pirn, that 

 the matter be left in the hands of the Committee to deal with it in 

 the manner suggested by the sub-committee. 



A long discussion upon several points in connection with the 

 rules of the Club took place, the most important being that 

 proposed by Mr. J. A. S. Stendall, namely, the formation of a 

 Junior Section of the Club at reduced subscription. The question 

 of altering the method of election of members of Committee was 

 raised by Mr. F. Balfour Browne, who proposed that a certain 

 proportion of the retiring members be ineligible for re-election for 

 one year. Several other members having spoken in favour of 

 these changes in the rules, the President pointed out that nothing 

 could be done at the present meeting as no notice had been 

 given beforehand of the proposals. 



Suggestions for places to be visited on the Summer Excursions 

 having been received, the meeting terminated with the election of 

 two new members — Miss Howlett and Mr. G. W. Shaw.
