History of The Society - Part 3
1983 We held the first Society International Convention at the Architectural Association in London with 150 delegates - all members of the Society. The Convention included the largest display of magic lanterns ever assembled. |
 Lanterns as far as the eye could see. |
 The quarterly meetings took on a different meaning. |
1983 The first Convention was a major milestone for the Society - the time when the transition was made from being a Society for the enthusiastic collector to a professional body with credibility in the outside world and a reputation to maintain. Almost overnight the quarterly meetings took on a different meaning - numbers attending rose substantially and expectations of the programme became more demanding. |
1985 The Society was invited to France by Club de la Lanterne to participate in the annual photographic fair held at Deuil-la-Barre, a northern suburb of Paris. This wonderful event was to be the first of several overseas meetings. |
