Forest walks held inSeptember indicate that there is a public demand for this type of educationalmeeting.Study Tour: The Annual Study Tour was held in Counties Fermanagh andTyrone. The participating party which was based at Belleek enjoyed a veryinformative tour. Our thanks are due to The Northern Ministry of Agriculturewho organised the tour, and for their generous hospitality.A.G.M.: The Annual General Meeting of the Society was held at the RoyalDublin Society on 13th March, the minutes of which were written up in Volume28 No.1, of the Journal.

Two issues ofthe journal were published during the year. The first of these was No. 2 ofVol. 27, the volume for 1970, which had been delayed.

Since the decision was not made until afterpublication of that issue it is marked Volume 28, No. 1.Election: Elections were held for the positions of Vice-President and CounciIIerTechnical (3 posts). Whereas polling was higher than usual many members didnot avail of their voting rights.Financial: The running expenses of the Society have increased considerably inthe last number of years.
