 Several members who had been on Committee during the previous year were of the opinion that Committee had acted honestly according to its rights, and one appealed for the attacks on Committee officers to cease.
 The closure was finally applied with the meeting still full of fight, and John Cotter's appeal was upheld.
-The remainder Of the meeting was most docile. The usual reports were read, together with one prepared by Mrs. Stoddart on the encroachment on city parks and the efforts of the Parks and Playgrounds Movement to resist it. As a result it was resolved that the Secretary of the Movement should be asked to address a subsequent General Meeting.

 In the Editorial for April the opinion was expressed that the leader of an official walk should not have power to decline a member's request to attend that walk. Editorial comment, in this case, does not actually reflect Club policy, which has been defined by Committee and confirmed by the April General Meeting in the terms: "The leader is responsible for the safety of the party and, if he thinks necessary, may refuse any person's request to attend the walk". This statement appears on the official Walks Programme.
-It is also desired to point out that every walk appearing on the programme is not necessarily designed to suit the capacity of all members, as the Walks Secretary endeavours to cater for the tastes and capabilities of all members by providing walks of varying types, mileages and severity.

 (It can reasonably be argued that when a member places his name on a Walks Program that he is inviting members to join a walk. His right to refuse any personal request can only be held in respect if it is not used indiscriminately. The editorial in question was to protest against an indiscriminate and unjust application. - Ed.)
