A motion of sympathy was passed with Mrs and Miss Mulvihill in their recent bereavement, Members were reminded by the president that the meetings in the future would be held on the third Saturday in the month.

The president (Mrs Chapman) extended a welcome to the visitors and introduced Mr McCully of Peel Forest a well-known collector and Maori authority who gave an insight into a fascinating interest and study which he had followed for many years.
