Report of the Council for the Year 1920. 



The activities of the Society have now reverted to pre- 

 war conditions and, in response to many requests, the Council 

 arranged to re-institute the summer excursions. It is re- 

 gretted that the attendance was extremely meagre. • The 

 first excursion, to St. Sampson's Church and Vale Castle, 

 took place on Thursday, June 3rd, and 29 were present. The 

 second, to St. Martin's and Forest Churches, on Saturday, 

 July 5th, had to be abandoned on account of rain. The third, 

 on Thursday, August 12th, to Dehus and the L'Ancresse 

 Dolmens, was attended by six members. The fourth, on 

 Saturday, September 4th, to Herm, the attendance was 

 reduced to three members. The day was, no doubt, uninviting, 

 but no more than six members had booked passages two days 

 before. At the last excursion to Herm, in 1913, 105 members 

 and friends took part. No expense whatever to the Society 

 was incurred in connection with these excursions.
