7.6 Papers of the Membership and Probationary Committees 1915 – 1978 and Undated
The Membership Committee is tasked with running the interview process for admission to the Society, and is also the body which conducts membership proceedings to allow probationary members to cross-over into regular membership. The Probationary Committee is tasked with carrying out the necessary duties to ensure that the Society’s probationary members– i.e. those who pass through the initial interview stage– are equipped to meet the requirements needed to pass into regular membership. This box contains items such as notes requesting expulsion from 1938, a probationary welcome letter from 1972, and undated Hall Limericks for probationaries.
