Treasurer's Report

SIBMAS account was in credit, many members having paid subscriptions during the Congress. Upon receipt of an up-to-date membership list from the Treasurer, Jack Reading would send out reminder notices to all those whose subscriptions were overdue in December 1980.

M. Veinstein proposed that as the SIBMAS account was in credit some part of the President's expenses should be met from the account. This was agreed.

Bulletin

Eric Alexander and Liliana Alexandrescu wanted as much and varied news as possible. Mlle Christout would also be glad to receive copy for ITI.

Only members of FIRT/SIBMAS entitled to receive the Bulletin. It was important that a membership form should be completed by countries of the East, includinq the USSR, though it was recognised that payment of subscriptions was difficult.

It was also important that it should be clearly understood that SIBMAS was not concerned with the theatre only, but with the performing arts in the widest sense, marionettes, cinema, dance, circus, etc.

Congress in 1982

The suggested dates were Monday, August 30 - Saturday, September 4.

M. Janic had made a file of names both for persons and for institutions to whom he had addressed circulars for the Belgrad congress. The addresses had been taken from the Livre bleu and about 50 letters had been returned. He agreed to send to Dr. Mary Johnson a copy of his list.

Acts of the Belgrad Congress

The Proceedings of the 1978 Congress had not yet been received: Miss Peypoch was to bring them with her to Belgrade but had been unable to come. It was very late to receive proceedings after another Congress had taken place.

M Janic reported that he had set aside a sum for publication and it might be possible to publish the proceedings of the present congress in Teatron as either a special number or a supplement. This he would discuss with the editors of the journal. There were tapes for all the main discussions but probably not for the commissions. Those who were responsible for the workshops and commissions would be asked to supply corrected texts by a certain date.

Other Business

There being no other business the meeting ended after the President had once again expressed thanks to MM. Jovanovic and Janic for all they had done to ensure a successful Congress.
