Extract

The decision of the Council to organize an excursion, the first since the Jubilee of the Society in 1926, arose from an invitation presented by Dr. A. E. J. Vickers, on behalf of Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd., to visit the anhydrite mine at Billingham. During the excursion the opportunity was also taken of visiting mineral localities in the northern Pennines (west Durham and Cumberland) under the leadership of Professor Wager and the writer. Accommodation was arranged in Durham at University College (by kind permission of the Master), and here, housed in the ancient castle, members enjoyed a comfortable stay. Transport each day was by private coach. The excursion was organized by Dr. G. F. Claringbull; the thanks of members are also due to Mr. E. Myers, secretary of the north-east section of the Society of Chemical Industry for his help in making local arrangements.
