-The Campfire Club is not very old, and neither are its members (we heard a rumour that 24 was the upper limit, but cannot vouch for this),however both club and members are full of vim and enthusiasm and appear to be carrying on all the best bushwalking traditions most worthily. They have just published Vol.No.1 of a new quarterly - "The Camp Fire Club Magazine" - in an attractive green cover. Modestly, the authors of the various articles all use noms-de-plume. From the articles, announcements and comments, we learned a lot about the clubs activities; it is holding a Song Competition to get Club songs, has a Recorder, and finds the same difficulty as the ScB,W. in getting leaders to report on trips for Club records; has a Photographic Album - and the same difficulty in getting pictures. It also has the same difficulty in getting members to attend meetings, but is not yet big enough to have a large and noisy overflow in the entrance passage like the S.B.W. Otherwise there does not seem to be a great deal of difference between a club of about thirty members and one of about two hundred and thirty. We congratulate our young comrades on their enterprise, wish them lots of luck and good camping, and hope they won't find the loss of their energetic Secretary- Len Raper - a knockout blow.

 ===== At our own meeting =====
 At our February meeting we were all pleased to see our good friend and Honorary Member, Mr. Norbert Carlon.
 New members welcomed were Max Swift, Ken Iredale and Arthur Brophy.
 We learned that Audrey Lumsden has resigned as she never gets time to walk - she is to be married shortly.
 Our Honorary Secretary, Tom Moppett, had a fresh supply of Bushfire Prevention Posters available for distribution, and also displayed a specimen notice for erection near the boundaries of "Morella-karong" stating that it is a private lease.
-The President reminded those present that the Re-Union will be held on 9thilOth March and is CLOSED TO NON-MEMBERS. Permission of Committee must be obtained beforehand if any member wishes to bring along a near relative on the Sunday.

 Members who have been admitted to the Club since last March are asked to contact Maurie Berry before this year's Re-Union.
 Fears were expressed for the safety of "Morella-karong" as Maurie Berry announced that "Myarra" (the M.T.C's 85-acre lease on Heathcote Creek) had been burned out on the previous Sunday, and so had Miss Crommelin's conservation area near Patonga. The organising committee was instructed to look for an alternative re-union site in case of need.
-The meeting decided to appoint Joint Room Stewards for three months at a time and several members volunteered. The two names drawn from a at were Flo. Allsworth and Harry Savage.
-Jack Debert, having returned from holidays full of vim and vigour, started stirring up the club, with the usual amusing and possibly useful results. The amusement was immediate and sustained; any useful results will appear later.
