PLEASE ALWAYS ENCLOSE A STAMPED ADDRESSED ENVELOPE FOR YOUR REPLY (TWO INTERNATIONAL REPLY COUPONS FROM OVERSEAS MEMBERS) AND QUOTE YOUR MEMBERSHIP NUMBER EDITORIAL I am writing this in mid-October, with legal matters still to be sorted out for our new Bolbec Hall premises, but it does now look as though we will achieve an early December opening, after some necessary decoration and the movement of the Society's library. You will find further details elsewhere but in particular can we ask potential visitors in the first week or two to phone Carol Yellowley (0191 529 3141) before going, to avoid possible disappointment. Volunteers to man the place are still required; contact Carol if you may be able to help. This is a major new initiative by the Society. There will inevitably be some teething troubles but do give your Society your support. Some organisational changes to note. Mrs. Kath Willans is giving up her role in charge of the Society's `Exchange Journal' scheme. Many thanks to her for her efforts. Requests for exchange Journals should henceforth be sent to Phil Thirkell (address on Contents Page). Mrs. Pam Bruce is stepping down as Project Co-ordinator. Our thanks to her; Mr. Cyril Jewitt takes over this function. Please note that to enable the move of the Society's Library to Bolbec Hall to proceed smoothly, the lending scheme is being suspended
