ELECTION OF NEW. CHAIRMAN
Dr A.E. Martin was one of the founder members the IRDG and after Serving as Chairman for almost all our 50 meetings wishes to retire from this office. The continued Success of the Group has been in a very large
measure due to Dr. Martin's enthusiasm and to the informal and good humoured way in which he has kept our meetings in order.
The election of a new Chairman will take place at this meeting and nominations should be made on the enclosed form. The proposer must ascertain that his nominee is prepared to stand for this vacancy before submitting his name.
FUTURE OF GROUP
The Hon. Sec. will be retiring shortly from this post but is prepared to remain in office for a few more meetings whilst the Group's future policy is being decided. Provided suitable volunteers can be found to hold office, there
is no reason why the Group should not continue in its present informal manner.
Members may prefer the Group to amalgamate or associate with some other society and to establish a more formal constitution, a possibility which is now being considered by several other similar spectroscopic groups. A third alternative is the possibility of the various molecular spectroscopy groups combining to form a Society of Applied Molecular Spectroscopy.
