 Another point brought forward by Alan Wyborn is that "As regards the conservation of rare species of indigenous trees, like the cedar, it would seem that their only haven is in national parks and primitive reserves". Tree owners, like most other people, prefer money to scenery, and will sell their trees for cash. Protests against removal of timber from private land are not likely to achieve anything. The ideal to strive for is reservation in primitive reserves and subsequent protection from fire. Another point brought forward by Alan Wyborn is that "As regards the conservation of rare species of indigenous trees, like the cedar, it would seem that their only haven is in national parks and primitive reserves".

 After some discussion it was decided to bold next year's Photographic Exhibition on a Friday night at some other location to be arranged (preferably a well-lit gallery) and that the Club Room be closed on that night. The motion was opposed by Mr. Hardie who said that the Photographic Section was having things too much its own way and was already costing the Club 26 a year. Mr. Cotter, replyin- to these observations, said that no doubt Mr. Hardio's exhibits would be seen to best advantage in the dim light of Ingereoll Hall. After some discussion it was decided to bold next year's Photographic Exhibition on a Friday night at some other location to be arranged (preferably a well-lit gallery) and that the Club Room be closed on that night.

We were eight, including three PWF (Misses Hardy, the original of the species, Mowbray and Barden). I was dismayed that Dot Butler hadn't been able to make it - the weak women would be able to remain unashamedly weak.

I fool some slight remorse at even mentioning this. - As a party we were incredibly good at getting established (i found later not so hot at getting moving).
