9. Any other Business
1. Appointment of Archivist. There followed a discussion regarding Trinity memoriabilia and archives, and Vic Manning volunteered to become the archivist for the Association. No formal decision was made, but it was generally agreed that at this time, we would not deposit anything further with Bruce Castle Park unless specifically requested to do so.
2. Memorial Plaque. With the loss of the Trinity War Memorial Plaque, members discussed the possibility of using the £500 donated by Sir Ernest Harrison for a similar plaque to be placed in the Trinity building. The meeting was generally divided on the subject, but nevertheless agreed that further investigations should be made firstly whether the present incumbents of the school would agree to such a plaque and then with the cost. It was also agreed that this proposal should be put to all members together with a further suggestion that the Association make a “Living Memorial” in the form of the schooling of a child similar to that being done by Joy Riley.
It was also agreed that Sir Ernest be approached to confirm his wishes in the matter.
Reg Rogers volunteered to contact the Headmistress at “Nightingale” School.
3. Future AGM’s. It was agreed that future AGM’s continue to be linked to the
Reunion Dinner at Hatfield, but with the later start time of 4.30pm.
