-In a little over a month will be held the Club's Annual General Meeting at which Office Bearers, Committee and other Club Officials will be elected for the ensuing year. Some of those now doing jobs will not want to carry-on. If so they would do well to declare their intentions early so that members can decide in advance on worthy successors. This is important, because good Committee members don't as a rule take an a job at a moment's notice in a meeting. If they are conscientious the wont take it on unless they think they have the time and ability to do it properly, and they will probably want to chew it over for a while. +----
  
-If they are not tasked till the night of the meeting they probably won't take it on and somebody may be elected who is not keen on the job, nor capable of doing it well. Thus are some of the worst committees elected.+===== Editorial : How to Pick the Committee =====

 There are some in the Club, we know, who don't like the idea of "pre-selection", but there is nothing undemocratic about picking them beforehand. Any number of people can pick any number of candidates, but it is the meeting that decides who gets in. There are some in the Club, we know, who don't like the idea of "pre-selection", but there is nothing undemocratic about picking them beforehand.

 The best place to decide who you want on the committee is round the campfire. You probably belong to one of the little groups of walkers within the Club and may want your group represented. Remember too that there is no need to tolerate any of the present Club Officers, from the Editor up, if you think they have had their day. The best place to decide who you want on the committee is round the campfire.

 We enjoyed every minute of our week. Hours were perhaps long - we started about 7 a m. and with breaks at 9.30, noon and 3.30, finished at 5 p m. or later, but it was contract, so we pleased ourselves. Payment was at 2d lb. and those eager to swell their cheques were on the job long before us. For our part, we wanted to enjoy the experience, besides adding to our funds. After a few days in our cottage, we were promoted to a furnished one and life became even more comfortable. The luxury of a hot bath and bed were greatly appreciated after our toil. So to all those folk who may get the chance of Cherry Picking - jump at it! It's fun! We enjoyed every minute of our week.
