The Society's own report of the 2004 Annual is not among the newsletters that survive for that year. What the papers of 2004 do carry is the Biennial Exhibition, Leather 2004, held that November on the second floor of the Hamilton Public Library (fifty-two articles by sixteen members, judged by the Fellows Ruth Haig and Carol McLean) and Woodstock Branch's proposal, put to the Executive that autumn, to reduce the following year's Annual Weekend to a single day. The Society's newsletter for Fall 2004, pages 2 and 5–6.
