Display: The President invited Miss [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname] to present her display on Music. Miss [CENSORED: surname] opened her display by saying that the evening would range from Early Baroque through to Late Romantic. We were then treated to a splendid showing of stamps, covers, postcards, special postmarks and miniature sheets. The latter part of the first round was devoted to Mozart and included some fine covers brought back, by Miss [CENSORED: surname], from a ‘pilgrimage’ to Salzburg.

The main part of the second round, opened with, and was devoted to Beethoven – the last of the great Classic composers and the first great Romantic. The round finished off with a selection of the other Masters and a section on Nationalism within the Romantic Movement.

All the major composers had been covered, and we had seen some very fine material. The evening had also been enriched by Miss [CENSORED: surname]’s commentary.

Vote of Thanks: [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname] was delighted to be giving the vote of thanks as she and [CENSORED: forename] had collected Music together over many years and had enjoyed visits to Mrs [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname] when she had been alive. With regard to the display she said that we had seen many very fine items, some of which she would be more than happy to see in her own collection. [CENSORED: forename]’s Presentation had been wonderful and it had been a splendid evening. The Society concurred with a very hearty round of applause.
