3. Matters Arising:
London library visit was the only event not reviewed at the previous meeting.
Dave attended and reported that the visit went well, but over-ran quite badly due to an extended session in the preservation room. The visit was on a Friday and the visitors all wanted to get away on time. However, the visit was well worth making. should it be repeated however, it would be better to stick to a stricter programme with the Library.
