The Theodore Roosevelt arrived in port, she was the first U.S. aircraft carrier to visit Palma for at least two years; the Bulletin attended a reception aboard in which U.S. Navy commanders heaped praise on the Spanish Navy and their Majorcan hosts.

The new Chairman of Conservatives Abroad, Ronald Gross, outlined his plans for the branch; a Bulletin report stated that guest speakers would include former cabinet ministers Tim Yeo MP and Steven Norris. Gross said that he also wanted to attract younger members to the branch.
