MEMBERSHIP FIGURES
​In 1936-7, the Hon Secretary in his notes bemoaned the fact that only 66% of members had paid their subscriptions (there are no details of the size of subscriptions in any Journal).
​
In the 1955-6 Journal, the Hon Secretary appealed to members for old Journals and membership cards to be given to him as several were missing.
Over the 24-year period covered by the Journals, membership fluctuates, but was always over 200, apart from the first session after the War (1945-6), when total membership was 185, with 84 individual members.
Despite this, the average attendance at meetings was 150.
Company membership rose steadily from 56 in 1936-7 to 135 in 1956-7 and this figure included banks.
Individual membership was 136 in 1935-6, fell to 84 (see above) and then rose to reach 259 in 1958-9.
Total membership rose from 264 in 1935-6 to 391 in 1958-9.
The Journal of 1936-7 reports that there were 63 vice-presidents in that year, compared to 62 the year before.
