Display: ‘Clydesdale’ by Dr [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname], Lanarkshire.

1st Round: Dr [CENSORED: surname] began by saying that the collection had developed over the last eight years. He had brought along general material, rather than restricting the display to postal history, to make the evening of more general interest. He started with an 1864 map of the area and then went on to show a very fine selection of material comprising postal history, cancellations, instructional markings, postcards etc. The towns were presented alphabetically from Abington to Hazelbank and the International Aviation Meeting

2nd Round: The second round was in similar vein and went from Junction (Carstairs) to the ZCF code for Crawford

Vote of Thanks: Before the vote of thanks, the President announced that Dr [CENSORED: surname] had applied for membership of the Society and his application was on the table. This was greeted with acclaim. [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname], in giving the vote of thanks, complimented Dr [CENSORED: surname] on his display. There were some very fine and scarce items. Indeed some were unique. The success of the evening was obvious from the interest that the members had shown and again congratulated Dr [CENSORED: surname] for doing so well with his ‘home’ area.

Next Meeting: Thursday 1st February 2001, ‘The Spanish Civil War’ by [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname].
