meetings at Worcester to stimulate interest in our affairs. He appealed to
members to pay their subscriptions to their Area Leaders quickly as many

friendly body of weighers and mixers

communication with the membership. Efforts to improve its quality were
constantly being made. The Secretary gave a summery of the year’s
activities, and noted that in 1986/87 a number of new members had joined
the club. Thanks were due to the members of the photographic trade who
hyad sent out leaflets for us.
The secretary appealed to Area Leaders to keep him informed of the
activities which take place within an area. Most of the Leaders were good
in this respect , but some had never been in touch at all., and it was
difficult to know what was happening in those areas.
Important concessions were given to us by C.P. Instruments (15% off) pH
meters), Northlite Bulbs (10% off blue daylight viewing bulbs) and film at
trade prices from Konica. Leaflets on all these products were available at

Area 20 since it’s inception in 1971. It was stated that Oliver had
