329 



prizes for the best kept note-books dealing with the addresses 

 given at the Winter meetings. The former were presented to the 

 successful members at the Annual Conversazione 191 7, by Mrs. 

 A. M'l. Cleland. Details of prizes will be found in the report 

 of the Prizes Sub-Committee. 



The Committee much regret the loss, through removal, of 

 Mr. C. G. Robertson, and wish to place on record their high 

 appreciation of his services to the Section, at all times willingly 

 given. To Mr. S. Wear the Committee wish to tender their 

 thanks for the assistance he has given in illustrating the Winter 

 addresses.

Report of the Associate Section. 



The Section consists of 14 members — 14 previous associates 

 having become ordinary members of the Club during the past 

 season, while 6 have resigned and 5 new members have been 

 elected. 



Excursions were carried out during the Summer to Dundonald, 

 Squire's Hill and Holywood Moss, and a joint excursion with the 

 Junior Section from Ligoniel to Glengormley. The excursions 

 were not well attended, perhaps owing to the fact that the 

 advantages to be derived from them have not been brought 

 sufficiently prominently before the members of the Section. It is 

 felt, however, that, despite this fact, the Section fulfils a useful 

 purpose as a feeder to the Club— and with an influx of members 

 from the Junior Section we are looking forward to a more successful 

 season in 1918. 



One of the members of the Associate Section, Mr. J. R. H. 

 Greeves, read a paper before the Junior Section— a form of 

 activity which is to be encouraged.

S. A. Bennett, Hon. Sec. of the Section.
