Initial meeting to establish BERA

Submitted by nickrushby on 19 November, 2013 - 10:47

A meeting was held on 12th October 1973 to move forward a proposal to form a British Educational Research Association.

It was decided that:
1. A B.E.R.A should be formed
2. Membership should be open but in the early stages the Association should be run by a bodu of founder members comprising the original group and their nominees.
3. Each member of the orignal group would submit around 10 but no more than 20 names of persons for foundation membership.
4. A list of names for founder members should be compiled from these suggestions at the next meeting.
