THE Grosvenor House, Park Lane, was all a-go-go and swinging and insville on Saturday night (if this old square has got the chat right). It was certainly all happening, as the London Centre of the Institute of Traffic Administration had booked the Next Issues Beat Group to follow the more leisurely mood of the Gay Gordons and other relaxing terpsichorean music provided by a less frenetic foursome. Occasion: annual dinner and dance, which was the usual welcoming affair. The Centre's vice-chairman, arriving hotfoot from Nigeria, perhaps felt some nostalgia for Africa as he soaked up the "new" sounds (they were certainly popular with the IoTA gathering). In his toast to the guests B. J. Hill stressed that the support of all members would be necessary to put the Institute in the forefront of bodies concerned with transport education. This was no airy-fairy theme, as that very afternoon the national council had approved the syllabus for the graduateship, associateship and associate membership examinations.
Details of the whole scheme should be with members soon, and this step is a very important one for IOTA: I wish them well with it.
