I've said it before, but .... as a paid-up TAR (one of about 1600, by the way) you really should get a copy of The Best of Childhood from Ted's stall. He's away in Australia at present, researching Edward Baker Boulton and that side of the Ransome family, but he'll soon be back.
I was at that AGM, and it only seemed like more than 12 hours. A lot of time was wasted searching for our Treasurer, who at one point was even rumoured to be in the building.
