The Biennial Soiree of the Society was held on the 

 14th May, 1901, in the Lecture Hall adjoining the Congre- 

 gational Church, Blackheath, when the President and 

 Council had the pleasure of entertaining some 300 of the 

 members and their friends. Lecturettes were given during 

 the evening by Mr. Fredk. Enock and Mr. William Webster, 

 and a short selection of Music was performed. The Society 

 was particularly fortunate on the occasion in the number 

 and interest of the exhibits that were made, not only by the 

 members of the Society, but also by Miss Airy, Mrs. Gordon, 

 and others, and they have been assured that their guests fully 

 appreciated and enjoyed the social reunion. 



The excursions of the Society during the past year have 

 been as follows, viz. : — 



The Ladies' Field Meeting took place on Saturday, 

 15th June, and about 22 members and friends were present. 

 Penshurst Place and Hever Castle were visited, the latter 

 being much appreciated by reason of Capt. Sebright (the 

 owner) personally conducting the party throughout the 

 Castle. 



The Annual Dinner was held at the " Old Falcon/' 

 Gravesend, on Saturday, 13th July. Twelve members and 

 friends assembled for the occasion.
