Teenage General Meeting. Emily Parr writes that because of sudden illness the sponsored walk in Pembrokeshire during August did not take place. It is planned to earn the sponsorship money which came in by doing the `Beating the Bounds' walk around the perimeter of Macclesfield. The `Fox Hunting' weekend based on Yealand at the end of August was a great success but quite a lot was spent on transport. The sponsor money was really useful. `Thank you so much for your astounding generosity and support of us.'
