Toronto Branch hosted the fifty-ninth Annual Weekend at the Lindsay Inn over 1–3 May 2009, members coming from Hamilton, Toronto, Woodstock, Mississauga and Norland, and about forty attending the General Meeting. Woodstock won the Weston Trophy and, as the Editor said in print, was the only branch to enter that year. The Society's newsletter for Spring 2009, pages 2–4 and 7–8.
