The treasurer's report was read by Maurice and accepted. A question was raised by Ken concerning the use of the club's reserves.

The Program Secretary's calendar for 2001/2002 was read out by Frank.

Summer Social - Wednesday 25 July

The summer social this year is a trip to the British Museum and Bank of England Museum. We are to meet in the HSBC gallery of the British Museum at 10-30. Exact details of the arrangement of the handling session are not to hand yet. Though I have been told it may not be possible to see specific individual items, we still need details from those of you who haven't already given them, concerning items they would like to see. Will anyone coming along who has not given details of what they would like to see at the handling sessions please let us know at the next meeting, or by contacting a committee member directly. We will aim for lunch at 1pm. There are sandwiches and suchlike in the Great Hall of the BM and many pubs and eateries in the vicinity. We will then set off for the Bank of England Museum, probably by tube, aiming to arrive at 2-30 and I expect to start making our way home at about 4pm.
