+=====Editorial - Election Threats.=====
+On March 10th you will once again be required to elect the Club Officials, including your unworthy Editor. It might therefore be of interest to know what you are in for if we are re-elected.
+Three years ago we warned that, should contributions lag, the editorial would grow longer and longer. The effect of this menace was salutary, and it was not until the middle of last year that contributions waned. The editorial was creeping well down the third page before readers realised their danger and copy came in in the desired quatittes. Should contributions lag again the editorial will become not only longer, but duller. It will deal almost exclusively with conservation, whether anyone reads it or not.
+Many members expect the Editor not only to edit the magazine, but to spend his remaining spare time in writing up news items and articles to fill its pages. Let it be understood that if members cannot be bothered doing this themselves no effort whatever will be made to persuade anyone to write anything. On this our policy is clear - no articles no magazine.
+Throughout the year we will continue to criticise: the Bushcraft Association, so long as it remains in the Federation; Mr Lindsay, whenever he identifies the S.B.W. with his doctrines; the National Park Trust, for not conserving the flora and fauna in the Park; and the Federation, everytime it evades action on conservation matters. Others may be added to the list of heretics.
+In Club affairs our ideas are firmly embedded in the year 1927 and will never advance. We disapprove of hitchhiking, portable wireless sets, smutty jokes at re-unions, alcohol in the clubroom and any like innovations calculated to add zest to the rustic pleasures of bushwalking.
+In previous years we have given a lot of time and trouble to the encouragement of photography, but when we asked photographers, most of whom never do anything for the magazine, to donate half plates there was no response. Many of them spend ten, twenty, or even a hundred times, the cost of a half-plate on a single trip. If they are not prepared to show more interest in the magazine they can go to pot.
+If re-elected, we want an assistant who will report club doings, and on occasions bring out the magazine. It is sometime very inconvenient to be tied to a magazine production at the same time every month, come holidays or hard work. Everybody else who does anything for the Club has an assistant and the Editor wants one too.
+It is probably superfluous to point out that with advancing years we become increasingly cantankerous. In addition we have gone somewhat stale on the job. It would be much better for the readers if they elected someone young, tolerant and progressive, with a happy disposition, and prepared to work unceasingly for their entertainment. If they do we will be just as pleased as everybody else. This step would not stem the flow of articles on conservation, but you would at least be spared the editorial.

 The President was in the chair and over 70 members werr) present. Three new members were wel3omed to the Club -f Ron larkes-, Bob- Dill and ,Tim Ferguson. After the quiet meetings towards the end of last year this one must have come as a rude shock to them, but we hope it wont
