EEPORT OF THE MEETINGS FOR 1898 283 



6. — Berwick, with excursion to Mordington, Lamberton, 

 AND THE Coast. 



The sixth and last Field Meeting for the season was held 

 prior to the Annual Meeting of the Club, which took place 

 at Berwick Museum, on Thursday, 13th October. 



Those who were able to attend the Field Meeting drove 

 first to Mordington — a goodly company in three well-filled 

 conveyances. At Mordington House they were most courte- 

 ously welcomed by Mr and Mrs Campbell Ronton, and were 

 joined by the President, who was there as the guest of Mr 

 and Mrs Campbell Kenton. After having partaken of 

 breakfast, through their kind hospitality, the members were 

 further regaled by a historical sketch, written and read by 

 Mr Maddan, Berwick-on-Tweed, concerning John de Eaynton 

 of Lamberton, a famous ancestor of the present proprietor. 

 The old family pictures in the dining room were much 

 admired, and an opportunity was given of examining a 

 number of valuable charters dating back to the fourteenth 

 century, six of which have been reproduced for the Pro- 

 ceedings. Before leaving the grounds, some of the party 

 visited the ruins of the ancient church of Mordington, for 

 notice of which reference may be made to Mr Ferguson's 

 Pre-Eeformation Churches in the Club's Proceedings for 1890. 



From Mordington, the members drove across Lamberton 

 Moor to the seabanks, and alighting from the conveyances 

 walked along the edge of the cliffs and then down to the 

 shore below Marshal Meadows, to obtain a view of the 

 stratified rocks, after which a paper on the " Rocks about 

 Berwick-on-Tweed," by Mr William Gunn, F.G.S., was, in 

 his absence, read by the Secretary in the open air, most 

 appropriately close to the very rocks with which it dealt. 

 This paper, as also Mr Maddan's, will be incorporated in 

 the Proceedings. 



The Annual Business Meeting was held in the Museum 

 at 1-30 p.m., the President in the chair. The following 

 members were present, as members or guests : — Colonel 

 Milne Home, Caldra, President; Rev. George Gunn, Stichill ; 

 George Bolam, F.Z.S., Treasurer, Berwick ; Captain Forbes,
