Bill Cosgrove, however, had other designs for the £200. Hearing from Tom Moppett of the National Parks deputation to the Minister on March 27th. he said that an association such as ours should not be old and decrepit, but full of juvenile enthusiasm. We should do something to encourage other people and clubs. The National Parks Association wanted money and we had it. The £200 was losing value year after year, and in 10 years would not be worth 200 pence. The Club should take out 50 £1 memberships in the National Parks Association. |
