THE ANNUAL REPORT 
*49 
Representatives have also attended lectures at the Clapton and Hampstead 
meetings, and the privilege so afforded has been duly appreciated. 
Mr. Oliver G. Pike lectured to the School, on April ll,on “An Hour in 
Birdland.” The boys were not slow in showing their appreciation in the usual 
manner, and we hope to hear Mr. Pike again next season. 
Mr. E. Kay Robinson has also promised to come and lecture. 
If any Selbornians would care to help, by lectures, lending books or slides, or 
conducting rambles, &c., such help would be gladly welcomed. 
North Wilts Field and Camera Club ( Affiliated Society). — During the summer 
many successful excursions took place. The first was to Avebury, when Silbury 
Hill, the British Stones and the ancient church were visited, under the guidance 
of Mr. D. Passmore. A visit to Oxford was arranged, when Mr. Mawdon Mow- 
bray most efficiently conducted the party. Modern methods of bee-keeping were 
watched at a bee farm at Ogbourne. Mr. D. Passmore again guided the Club on 
their visit to Cirencester, when the Roman remains were examined — most inter- 
esting, perhaps, being the amphitheatre and Mr. Cripp’s private museum. On 
other occasions the Club was entertained by the Rev. Walter Butt, by Mr. G. 
Avenell, and the Rev. Robeson. 
At the winter meetings Mr. Oliver G. Pike lectured on “ In Birdland with a 
Camera,” and Mrs. Douglas Wilson on “Pompeii”; one of our own members 
described a visit to Russia, and another gave a lecture on “ English Trees.” 
At the Annual Soiree a presentation of a roll-top writing desk was made to 
the Honorary Secretary, Mr. T. C. Davison. 
The membership has increased to 130.
