President’s Intimations: The president congratulated all those who had competed and those who had given invited displays at Glasgow 2000. A list of awards and displays is attached.

A letter from [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname], Chairman of Glasgow 200, was read out. In it Mr [CENSORED: surname] thanked all who had contributed in any way – no matter how small – to making Glasgow 2000 the great success it had turned out to be.

Display: The President introduced Mr [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname], author of Scots on Stamps, and invited him to give his display.

Before he began, Mr [CENSORED: surname] presented the society with a cover (suitably mounted) addressed to Miss [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname] the Society’s first lady president. The cover dated 8 Nov 1935 had the first Scottish airmail receiving cachet applied. The cover’s journey being Slough-Croydon-Renfrew.

Mr [CENSORED: surname] began his display by saying that he looked on it not as a thematic, but more of a country collection. It was divided into various aspects of Scottish life and history. These are described in the notes supplied by Mr [CENSORED: surname] and attached herewith.

Vote of Thanks: Mr [CENSORED: forename][CENSORED: surname] thanked Mr [CENSORED: surname] for giving us such a splendid display.
