Council Meetings are held to administer the association’s business and are therefore restricted only to Council Members. The meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month, with the meeting starting at 7.30 p.m. The website editor will add links to the minutes in the table below when they become available. Click on ‘View Minutes’ and then Cut and Paste the text so that you can make a print. Alternatively, you can open the PDF file to produce your print.
The new session of council meetings and member events commences in September. Minutes of the previous session’s May Council Meeting held in 2025 will remain on this page for reference.
You can download and print minutes using the links in the table when they are published (highlighted in Bold Blue Text):-

Please Note:
* The January 2026 meeting ‘first Thursday of the month’ would have been on 1st January – New Year’s Day. The club has requested that we avoid that evening so we will delay by one week and meet on Thursday 8th January.
** The May 2026 Council Meeting is planned to be held on Thursday 7th May. In the past the club has been used for local elections and we have had to delay the meeting by one week. We will confirm the May meeting closer to the date.
The minutes from the Council Meetings are stored in the Library of the University of Leeds along with Journals dating back to the formation of the association in 1865. Members may view these minutes (and past Journals of the association) by arrangement with the University Librarian. All past documentation of the association is in the public domain.
