Let your imagination run rampant! PLEASE NOTE VERY CAREFULLY THE DATE AND TIME OF THIS MEETING. Saturday, February 7th - 2: 00 p. m. at the Museum. Please watch for details in the January issue. * * * * * * * THE EDITOR'S LOGBOOK Our November Meeting featured marine videos and those present enjoyed a number of interesting films. We thank those who assisted by providing the videos. The response of the members was overwhelming, and so we will try holding the January, February and March meetings on Saturday afternoons. We hope that attendance will justify this major change. Please make sure you ar­ rive at the meeting on time, as the same time constraints on our use of the museum premises will exist as at present, and the programme must be concluded by 4: 30 p. m. Our annual Greetings of the Season message is contained in this issue, but the front page is where we really should wish A Very Merry Christmas to all! And a Happy New Year, too! In the New Member Department, a hearty welcome goes out to Ben O'Brien, of Rochester, New York. We are pleased to have you with us as a member of T. M. H.
