| AdminHistory | The British Psychological Society held regular 'general' meetings from its earliest days when members and invited guests would read papers some of which were then published. They were called general meetings to differentiate them from Section (as the Society's specialist groups were called which were created 1919-1920). Lists of meeting titles and abstracts were published in the British Journal of Psychology and other Society publications.
By the end of its first year, December, 1902, the Society had held six meetings, four at University College, London, one at Cambridge and one at Oxford. Two or three papers were read with an interval for tea and afterwards a dinner was held. In 1910 the British Psychological Society joined the Aristotelian Society and Mind Association for a week-end of meetings. Two weekend meetings were held with the Royal Society of Medicine in 1914 - the second meeting was at Durham University [see photographs PHO/001/03/08/05]).
In 1931 a general meeting was held outside London at the University of Reading and in 1933 a visit was made to Bethlem Royal Hospital. In 1936 a new venture of extended general meetings held was initiated, they were held from Friday until Monday at regional venues - the first was in Leeds 17-20 April. The AGM was originally held in January and then December but by 1941 were part of the'extended meeting' which was now called the 'Annual General Conference' until 1995 and then the 'Annual Conference' but it still included the AGM. [An additional annual London Conference ran between 1958 and 2000].
