Yes, I do re call that.. dont know if it is still in existance ( I belong 3 other Soc. at this time.... One does not,and have not checked others )

here,s another " quirk "... it was also forbidden back in the 40s (?) for bank managers to turn Prof.

Going deeper into my research, i had forgotten that there was another meeting that preceeded all the others in 1920 chaired by P. Richardson-- the people attending were all established dancers.

None of the later committee names were in attendance other than H. Bloodworth and Miss M. Symons

This meeting was suggested by a Mr Maurice Walton( an american ) and a former Waltz champion .

Its worth noting that P.R Richardson became the publisher of the Dancing Times in 1910 ( it had ceased pub. ... when he re vitalised it )

Probably not a coincidence then that Henry St John Rumsey wrote another book in 1923 entitled "No Need to Stammer".
