4. Meeting Times

The Society’s meeting time has remained throughout the history of the Society at 7.15 pm for 7.30pm start. From 1979 the syllabus stated “before each meeting, room is open from 7.15 pm to 7.30 pm to buy, sell or exchange material”. In 1991 the wording changed to “Mrs Vickers conducts a Bourse on behalf of the Society before each meeting at 7.15 pm.” In 2002, Mr E Piggot, assisted by Mr T Collins took over the duties of conducting the Bourse.
