Proceedings of the

Clifton Antiquarian Club,

1884-5.

FIRST MEETING.

ON January 23rd, 1884, a meeting took place at the Bristol Museum and Library, which was attended by the following gentlemen: The Hon. and Right Rev. Bishop Clifford, Rev. B. H. Blacker, Lieut.-Col. J. R. Bramble, Dr. G. F. Burder, Dr. A. Steven, Messrs. J. Bush, J. Dallas, F. J. Fry, W. V. Gough, H. M. Herapath, Alfred E. Hudd, W. P. Hudden, Christopher James, W. E. Jones, T. Kerslake, Harold Lewis, A. T. Martin, T. S. Pope, P. D. Prankerd, S. H. Swayne, John Taylor, William Thomas, and John Williams.

Bishop Clifford having been requested to take the chair, called upon Mr. A. E. Hudd to read a circular letter which had been printed and circulated amongst archæologists residing in Clifton and the neighbourhood. In this letter, which was signed by Bishop Clifford, Col. Bramble, Messrs. J. Bush, A. E. Hudd, T. Kerslake, A. C. Pass, J. Taylor, and J. Williams, it was proposed to form a small Society, having its head-quarters in Clifton, and consisting of a limited number of members, which, without interfering with other societies in the West of England having somewhat similar objects, might arrange meetings and excursions for the study and investigation of objects of archæological interest in the West of England and South Wales. This circular having been read, letters approving of the objects of the proposed Club, and expressing regret at being unable to attend the meeting were read from the Rev. C. S. Taylor, Lieut.-Col. Macliver, Dr. Langley, Professor

John Rowley, Alderman F. F. Fox, and Messrs. W. Adlam, F.S.A., W. Edkins, J. Reynolds, C. J. Trusted, and A. C. Pass.

On the motion of the chairman it was then unanimously resolved by those present at the meeting "That a society to be called 'The Clifton Antiquarian Club' be hereby formed, to consist of forty members."

The first forty members of the Club having been elected by the meeting, the following rules, which had been prepared by a provisional committee, were read and adopted :

4.-The Officers of the Club shall be-a President, two VicePresidents, a Treasurer, and a Secretary, all of whom shall be elected annually from amongst the Ordinary Members.

5. The affairs of the Club shall be managed by a Committee, consisting of the Officers and four Members to be elected annually; three to form a quorum.

6.-Ordinary Members shall be elected at the Annual Meeting, by ballot.

12.-Each Ordinary Member shall pay an Annual Subscription of Seven Shillings and Sixpence, which shall become due on the first day of January in each year, and shall be paid in advance.

13.-Members whose subscriptions are in arrear for one year shall be considered as having withdrawn from the Club, if after application the same be not paid.

14.-Any Member being absent from four consecutive meetings, without explaining the cause of his absence to the satisfaction of the Committee, shall be considered to have retired from the Club.

15.-All matters not included in the foregoing Rules shall be settled by a majority of two-thirds of the Committee, provided that any Member may appeal from their decision to a General Meeting of the Club, at which the votes shall be taken by ballot.
