it. The kitchen equipment is in such a bad state, and it is used by so many people that we ought to do something more than that. I move that each member provide something for the kitchen, but that no one spends more than 3s 6d.

Mrs P.: I second that.

(Immediately an unruly discussion begins, each person present having a different idea to put forward. Finally, Mrs O. moves the CLOSURE.)^§

Mrs O.: Madam Chairman, there is a motion before the meeting, I move that it be put.

Mrs N.: I second that.

Chairman: It has been moved and seconded that the motion be put. All those in favour … Carried.

I shall now put the motion moved by Miss B. and seconded by Mrs P.: ‘That each member provide something for the kitchen, but that no one spends more than 3s. 6d.’ All those in favour … Carried.

Is there any further General Business? Very well. I should like to introduce Mr P., who comes to us from Adult Education, and who has brought us two films. If someone would darken the room we could see what he has to show us.

Mr P. shows the films. The Chairman has arranged previously that Mrs O. should thank Mr P. on behalf of the meeting.

Mrs O.: Madam Chairman, I should like to thank Mr P., on behalf of this Branch, for bringing these interesting films to us. I hope that he can come again with some more films. 8.–9. ARRANGING THE DATE OF THE NEXT MEETING—CLOSING OF MEETING

Chairman: And now, before we close the meeting, I should like to remind you that the next meeting will take place four weeks from today, on October 11th.

I declare this meeting closed.
