End Date: 21 July 1933
Type: Lecture, discussion and exhibition
Description: F. Mercer read paper and showed slides, followed by Newbolt's praise of Mercer's and his work. After the interval, F. Hope Jones opened the discussion, followed by G. H. Baillie, R. W. S. Weir, L. A. Turner, T. Wilson and Voysey. The Clockmakers' Company and F. Mallett lent specimens of clocks and astronomical instruments for exhibition during the lecture (AWG annual report, 1933, p. 12).
Policy: 'Founded in 1883, with the object of bringing into closer union the workers in various arts and crafts - architects, painters, designers of all kinds, sculptors and wood-carvers, metal-workers, goldsmiths, and many others - chiefly by evening meetings and discussions on different lines and methods in art. Meetings are held fortnightly, when papers are read and their subjects illustrated as fully as possible. Visitors must be introduced by a member' (Year's Art, 1913, pp. 169-70).
