The Council dealt with the administration of the Society. Its nature and scope changed over the years \n\nIts position seems to have altered significantly in 2004, when they became an advisory body as opposed to a decision making body. From this date it was known as the Advisory Council. This change appears to have been quite a lengthy process that begun around 1998/9. This move towards an advisory body (and the necessary changes in the bye laws and charter) resulted in a special general meeting in June 2003. The changes were then approved in the 2003 AGM, but weren't official until the beginning of the following year once the Privy Council had approved them. It was not until October 2004 that Council had its supervisory powers officially removed. It carried on as an Advisory Council until 2008,in some form (the official nature of the minutes and agendas etc. is lacking at this point). In 2009 the Fellowship Council was established which superceded the Advisory Council.
Annual reports were issued as a statement of the Society's activities over the year, initially within the Journal (from 1852). By the 1980s the Annual Report was issued as a separate publication.
