Time and again prospectives turn up on walks badly equipped and unsuitably dressed. Heavy, badly balanced packs, shiny leather shoes that slip at every step, high heels, skirts instead of shorts, and so on, would make a hard walk for anyone, let alone one who has never been bushwalking before and for whom a few miles with a pack is a strenuous effort. Consequently many prospectives come on one walk, and, after their day's struggle, never appear again.

Allan Hardie then got going again. Thin time it was a financial coup. A special reserve is to be created out of accumulated Club funds for the purchase of a Club Room when possible. If such a reserve was not created members would get the idea that we had "an overwhelming mass of funds" and lower the subscriptions. The idea seems to be to kid ourselves that we have less than we really have so that we will accumulate more in future years.
