THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1918. The 51st annual meeting of the members of the Club was held in the Museum on Saturday, February 8th, 1919. In the absence of the President, the Earl of Powis, Mr Morris P. Jones, now the oldest member of the Club, was voted to the chair. Others present were the Misses Jones, Westwood, the Misses Howell, Rhiewport, Miss Salter, Mrs Macqueen, Mrs Roper, the Rev E. H. Griffith, Dr. Davies Rees, Messrs J. B. Willans, D. J. Jones, David Rowlands, R. E. Owen, W. Sinclair Jones, W. Sheppard, Robert Owen, John Pugh, John Williams and J. Jones, with Mr T. Simpson Jones, the hon. secretary. Apologies for absence were received from the President, the Rev G. Williams, Pool Quay, Mr Llewellyn Howell, Archdeacon D. G. Davis, Llandrinio, Capt. Basil Jones, the Assistant Editor, Dr. D. C. Lloyd Owen, and Mr N. B. Edwards. In his annual report the Hon. Secretary said the work of the Club had only just been carried on.

It was very near completion, and there was enough manuscript in hand to fill the first part of Vol. 40 if they could find an editor to do the work. A suggestion had been made 'that the Club should under- take the compiling of a register and to some degree a biography, however short, of all the men of Powysland or Montgomeryshire who served in the Great War. It would be rather a big under- taking, and although it was not their rule to pay for contributions to their pages, it was a question for the members to decide whether they should not make an exception in -this case and offer an honorarium to those who undertook to carry out that work. Death had removed from their midst Mr J. Marshall Dug- dale, Llwyn, who had been a member for many years. His death
