Apologies re absentees. Thanks given to Terry Braithwaite for organising an excellent Forster dinner. Two members who had arranged to go to the dinner but failed to turn up on the night had to reimburse Terry £12 each. President again reminded that there were 3 vacancies for membership of the Club.

David Caine proposed that the Club continue for a further 12 months, agreed. Minutes for the past year, read and accepted. The Treasurer submitted the accounts for the year ended 31st May which were also accepted, he then informed members that the annual subscription could be held at £10, bearing in mind that £196 of expenditure in the accounts just submitted would not be recurring within the next five years or so. The President thanked elected officers for their help and work during the past year. There being no names put forward the officers to go forward as at present. The meeting was tinged with sadness due to the death of Bill Robinson and this June meeting would have seen him complete 50 years membership of the Club. Mrs Robinson sent along a bottle of cognac to the meeting as Bill had requested this to be done. Members then stood and drank in memory of Bill. The President spoke in memory of him both as a member and friend, as did Eric Travis, Members were advised that the licensee of The Railway had given notice to leave but until we know who the new tenants were to be we could not be certain if we could continue Club meetings at this venue.
