An excellent turnout of 20 members at this new location near Kingston upon Thames. The meeting room was just right and the weather was good enough to eat lunch in the garden.

The change of IPBA bye laws should mean an influx of members. A new UK membership form will be distributed. Subscriptions to remain at £10pa (£12 for non-UK) Convention 2007. A proposal to hold the event at Grays Antiques Market wasn't popular with everyone. Alternatives are to be explored - in particular Cheltenham, where a previous BCCS show had been held. Format: a two day event was preferred. Date: To avoid clashes with other events & shows and to take advantage of cheaper hotel costs, early November was preferred.
