On Friday Frances Morris welcomed members to the meeting. She introduced Dennis Casley, who gave a very interesting talk on how, after leaving university in 1950's, he arrived at his first job in Uganda. He talked about his work there, including his experiences with Idi Amin.

The notices were read by Dorothy Pountain, including details of the Christmas dinner on December 7, and the pantomime visit on January 27. The tea hostesses were Rosemary Polglase and Judi Mitchell. The evening was well attended and enjoyed by all.
