Extract

In the Anniversary Address which I delivered last year I gave notice that to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Society's continuous existence there would be a party in this building. This took place on Thursday, 12th October 1967, between 5.30 and 8.30 p.m. and was the first occasion on which the newly decorated hall and staircase were visible in all their glory, and glorious they certainly are when compared with those sombre tones which formerly greeted us. Not only has marbling been substituted for dull green, but some of the Society's possessions have been put on view in the entrance hall. The floor has also been relaid. The general effect is a good deal more splendid and more welcoming than before. As in other matters, which will be mentioned later, the Society is very much indebted to our Vice-President, Mr. Dufty, for all the trouble he took in this business, and in your name I would wish to thank him for his pains.
