      <div type="chapter" label="Margaret Dilks was secretary to the XII Book Club from 1940 to 1970. It is inferred from this, and from the handwriting, that she was the author of this set of minutes.&#10;">
        <p>
          <ptr target="ukred-30621">"Meeting held at 67 Eastern Avenue, 28th. Nov. 1945.&lt;br/&gt;
	A. Austin Miller in the chair. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
1. The minutes of the last meeting were read &amp; signed. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
3. While we were discussing possible books for the coming year, the Treasurer 
was dispatched to fetch from his home the Club account books in order that we 
might be able to review our finances. He was later able to assure us that we have 
a balance in hand of about £7. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
7. X = 0 by John Drinkwater was read with the following cast: — &lt;br/&gt;
	Pronax — F. E. Pollard &lt;br/&gt;
	Salvius — A B Dilks &lt;br/&gt;
	Ilus — T. Hopkins &lt;br/&gt;
	Capys — Austin Miller &lt;br/&gt;
Stage directions, passing sentinels &amp; noises off — Hilda Hopkins &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
We then had three readings each of a national character. For the first of these 
representing England Dora Langford read from “Nicholas Married” a sequel to 
Nicholas Nickleby of doubtful authorship. Both the age of the book and its 
illustrations were extremely interesting. Scotland was represented by an extract 
from ‘A Window in Thrums’ by J. M. Barrie read by Muriel Stevens. And Wales by 
readings by Stella Hopkins from “An Englishman looks at Wales by R. W. 
Thompson”
&lt;br/&gt;
[signed as a true record by] C.J. Langford [on 10 January 1946, at the club meeting 
held at 44 Hamilton Rd.: see Minute Book, p. 48.]"</ptr>
