| Description | The minutes cover the dates November 1973 - 1991 and the volume also includes annual reports, circulars to members and balance sheets and accounts. The minutes of this volume follow the same themes and usual business of previous Annual General Meetings. The typical matters on the agenda were the election of association officers, reviews of the annual reports and accounts and discussion of amendments to the laws of the association. Extraordinary General Meetings were also held occasionally in addition to the annual meetings. These were conducted to discuss special business and in this case to establish the British Athletic Federation in 1988. The preliminary constitution of the BAF, which was to administer athletics for the whole of the United Kingdom, was discussed at length at the meetings due to the potential implications of the new organization on the AAA. |
