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, from September until May, 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 2026 will remain on this page for reference.

* The May 2026 council meeting was delayed 1 week due to local council elections being held at the club. If the same happens in 2027 I will reschedule the meeting and advise council members accordingly. (Ed.)
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.
