Performance NotesTwenty-fifth annual conference.

The 5,5000 lunch boxes were sponsored by Elizabeth Arden.

M Valery Giscard D'Estaing (French Finance Minister) was unable to attend.

"...The impressiveness of the proceedings on stage, magnified for those at the back by an immense cinema screen, was only marred by the surroundings.
The Albert Hall's passages remain dingy to a degree. The doorman lunched at his post off a sandwich and a half-pint bottle of pale ale."
(The Daily Telegraph, 9 November 1973)
