| Chairman’s Report. | This was given by Fiona Mair, who reported on a good year of lectures and three enjoyable outings- Vindolanda, Lytham and Manchester with Gorton Priory. Fiona also mentioned the Chairman’s projects that members are welcome to take part in-the kiln project at Norton Priory, and the Brindle Workhouse project. The latter requires geophysical and topographical surveying to take place in March. A skeletal analysis day was suggested as a future project. |
| Treasurer’s report | Bill Shannon reported that the accounts were still being audited. There was a surplus in the bank of £1800.It was suggested that some of this money is used to fund ongoing projects. The surplus exists because some lecturers don’t charge and Dave Swindlehurst provides the programmes and the web-site services free of charge. Attendance at lecture meetings continues to be good - 30 - 40 individuals. |
| Election of Officers | All officers and committee members remain unchanged. Chris Costigan was thanked for booking this year’s lecturers. |
| Any other business | Ian Ferguson was thanked for his cuttings service. Mavis Shannon outlined this year’s proposed visits- Norton Priory, Garstang, and either Grassington or Carlisle in September. |
