At this meeting the Waterloo Coin Society was requested to make a study of the feasibility of the formation of an association of Ontario numismatic societies.

The executive felt that the committee should be expanded to include members of other Ontario societies and set about enlisting the services of a number of prominent southern Ontario numismatists.
The final membership of the Formation Committee consisted of
Mr. Rod R. Rekofski, Chairman,
Mr. William English, Vice Chairman,
Mrs. Ruth Mueller, Secretary,
Mr. Bruce Raszmann, Treasurer, and members

Mr. Robert C. Willey,
Mr. Bruce Brace and
Mrs. Joan Whitby.
