There are issues with rubbish bins filling very quickly, but we hope to install more of these and empty them often.

The meeting was held on Saturday April 18th at St Barbara's Hall, Earlsdon. At many of our meetings we discuss our colleagues' stereo images and how to make them attractive, even artistic. But once or twice or year we turn to the strictly practical uses of stereo, which can be very important, perhaps nowhere more so than in medicine.

Our visiting speaker at the last meeting was Dr. Elizabeth Parvin, an expert on Medical Imaging, combining her experience as a physicist (she is a senior lecturer in physics at the Open University at Milton Keynes) with work with radiologists in hospitals in Coventry and Birmingham.

Colin Clay (left) of Dorridge, Solihull, is presented with a cake, iced with an oversized pair of stereoscopic spectacles, on his retirement after leading the Coventry meeting of the Stereoscopic Society for 20 years. There is one national Stereoscopic Society which meets in London and Earlsdon and Mr Clay was Midlands section organiser. The presentation is being made by the incoming organiser, Dr Geoffrey Ogram, from Stafford, who is currently national chairman of the Stereoscopic Society. He will continue in that post as well as being in charge the Coventry meetings. Picture by society member Andrew Hurst.
