94 Anniversary Address. 



morning was gloomy, witli occasional showers of rain and 

 peals of thunder. Fortunately, in the course of the day the 

 weather cleared up, and many additional members joined the 

 party before the dinner hour. 



There were present : — The President, Messrs. J. C. Lang- 

 lands, F. Fearaley, T. Y. Greet, Benj. Nicholson, J. Church, 

 senr., Wm. Boyd, Robert Graham, J. Church, junr., P. J. 

 Selby, Thomas Clutterbuck, Geo. Hughes, Thos. Tate, 

 Robert Douglas, Wm. Church, and George Tate ; Revds. E, 

 Mangin, F. R. Simpson, J. A. Wilkinson, M. Burrell, J. D. 

 Clark, P. Mearns, A. Davidson, Wm. Lamb, Edward Mer- 

 rott, W. J. Cooley, J. W. Dunn, Wm. Dodd, John Bigge, 

 Dr Marshall, Messrs. C. P. Bosanquet and M. Pepys. 



After breakfast the accounts were audited, and it was re- 

 ported that there were 207 members in the club. The 

 number of members being now so considerable, and the ac- 

 counts being kept and business arranged by honorary oiRcers, 

 it was deemed desirable, that their labour should not be 

 unnecessarily increased by irregular payment of the annual 

 subscription. The secretaries were therefore directed to issue 

 a circular, requesting members promptly to remit their sub- 

 scriptions after the first application from the secretaries. 



In accordance with the resolution of the meeting held in 

 Jime last, a proposition for reprinting the earlier volumes of 

 the proceedings of the club Avas considered. It was decided, 

 however, that as the club has no funds available for this 

 object, it would be necessary that a suiRcient sum should be 

 raised by subscription before attempting to print these 

 volumes ; but, as several members present expressed their 

 willingness to subscribe, it was resolved, that a circular be 

 sent to all the members, to ascertain what number of sub- 

 scribers could be obtained for a complete set of the first three 

 volumes, at the price of £1 for a copy. 



Mr Robert Brown, of Littlehoughton, was elected a mem- 

 ber ; and the Rev. James Huie, of Wooler, and the Rev. 

 John Bigge, of Stamfordham, were proposed and seconded 

 for membership.
