b) The decision as to when and where meetings are to be held was unresolved, but preference seemed to be on Saturday afternoons in Leeds. However the possibility of holding meetings in York or Pontefract during the liquorice fair will be investigated. The possibility of meeting at the Leeds Library in Commercial Street is to be looked into.
c) The Programme for 2020 will start in March and talks have been so far offered by Robert Barraclough, Richard Fynes, Alan Humphries, Mike Roberts, and Peter Watson.
