BRANCHES COMMITTEE
THE Branches are an important source of life to the Society, and it is hoped that one day these will thrive throughout the country, and indeed throughout the world.
At present, there are three Sections, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle. In the course of time and in accordance with the Constitution, these will qualify as Branches. As conditions within the industry Improve, it is hoped that an ever-increasing membership among technicians working outside the London area will create a demand for the formation of more Sections.
The organisation and maintenance of Sectional activities demands a large measure of patience and determination. The Society's staff provides the help which lies within its power, but this must necessarily be indirect help and the efforts of the minority of members who give freely of their time and experience for the benefit of their fellows, must be relied upon.
A debt of gratitude is owed to the Section Committees, and in particular to the Hon. Secretaries of the three Sections for the burden which they carry in this respect.
There are many hundreds of technicians outside the London area whose need for technical information can be served through membership of the B.K.S. An even greater need can be served by the eventual establishment of branches in various territories, when organised activity will afford a means of meeting for discussion or to hear papers prepared by specialists, or for ordinary social intercourse.
The formation of a Section is quite difficult to accomplish. In considering such formation, the Council is guided by the membership figures and other potentialities of the territory. A careful examination is made of the factors considered necessary for successful operation.
