Apologies for Absence. — Apologies for absence 'were received from Messrs. W. M. Marcourt, R. Pulman, and I. D. Wratten.
Gift to the Society. — Two cameras of historical interest had been presented to the Society by Mr. J. S. Abbott. Details would be published in the Journal.
Television. — The Council of the Television Society had given preliminary consideration to the proposals reported last month. It appeared that the details would need careful study, and the suggestion was made that the whole question should be the subject of consideration by a Committee representative of both the Societies. Messrs. L. Knopp and S. A. Stevens were appointed the representatives of the British Kinematograph Society.
Forthcoming Events. — Arrangements were put in hand for two events to take place in 1951. The Film Production Division would organize a visit to either Alexandra Palace or Lime Grove Studios, and the Theatre Division would organize a visit to the Festival of Britain Telekinema. Both visits, which would be open to all members of the Society, would take place in April or May, on a Saturday and Sunday respectively, though not in the same week-end.
Education Committee. — The successful launching of the course on Lighting for Kinematography was considered by the President as being a matter for congratulation. Tribute was paid to Mr. Baynham Honri for his work. A course on Sensitometry would commence in February, 1951. The proceedings then terminated.
