This gathering introduced more structure to the proceedings, as well as a larger attendance: 24! There was now a morning session and an afternoon one, both with tea breaks, and three papers were presented in addition to the business meeting, leaving the evening free for pure socializing. Father James Carruth, who presented two of the three papers, was from Zimbabwe, justifying the \u201cInternational\u201d label, and we have had attendees from overseas\u2014especially from England\u2014ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>See the full report of this convention in\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/PL_v6_nr4.pdf\">Plum Lines<\/a><i>, Volume 6, No. 4 (November 1985)<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"6a1c98cee1585\" class=\"gg_gallery_wrap gg_true_gallery gg_masonry_gallery gid_15770146 gg_hidden_ol gg_ol_bottom_mode gg_main_ol_show_on_h \" data-col-num=\"4\" data-gid=\"15770146\" data-nores-txt=\"No images found\">              <div class=\"gg_loader\">            <div class=\"ggl_1\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_2\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_3\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_4\"><\/div>        <\/div>  <div class=\"gg_container\"><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1985-Ithaca-3.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"0\" data-gid=\"15770146\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/390x0_90_1_c_FFFFFF_caa42c4e2842bc32f60b96fc3ba38fba.jpg\" alt=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1985-Ithaca-3.jpg\" alt=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1985-Ithaca-2.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"1\" data-gid=\"15770146\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/390x0_90_1_c_FFFFFF_24cd8a965e2b3deb3d9c3d9f9ae20c3d.jpg\" alt=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1985-Ithaca-2.jpg\" alt=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1985-Ithaca-1.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"2\" data-gid=\"15770146\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/390x0_90_1_c_FFFFFF_97e30f8a2162a94c1fb7de60b5940cdd.jpg\" alt=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wodehouse.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1985-Ithaca-1.jpg\" alt=\"1985 Ithaca Convention\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">     (function() {         \"use strict\";              const intval = setInterval(() => {            if(typeof(jQuery) == \"undefined\" || typeof(gg_galleries_init) == \"undefined\") {                return true;            }            else {                clearTimeout(intval);                            const $ = jQuery;                gg_galleries_init(\"6a1c98cee1585\");            }        }, 50);    })();<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ithaca, New York: October 19, 1985 Speakers: Father James Carruth, Walter S.
