+=====The Barbecue.=====
 By "Fed Up Freddie".
 The mere fact that everyone had more than sufficient to eat is enough to suggest that the event was a complete success. By motor chariot, by train, and by shanks pony, about 80 jawbones, accompanied by an equal number of expectant tummies had congregated for the feast.
-Dumb Dora is reputed to have thought a barbecue was a line of men waiting for a haircut and I must confess I have not much more knowledge than this inoffensive lady. Still, as per instructions, I equip myself with plate, knife and fork, and clutching my five shilling. in my hot little palm I head for the Wal Roots mansion.. Our little party was slightly late, having stopped en route to collect a member and his wife. He assured us that it was only a hop skip and a jump over to Wal's. And talking of hops-,-well, you can't be early on every occasion, and it was close to Christmas, can't keep on saying no all one's life, here today and gone the day before sort of thing.

-How Wal acquired his residence in the heart of Kuring-gai Chase is beyond me. The bloke's got a bushwalking club all of his own.
-All the walking country you could wish for in his own backyard and if weather conditions are bad he can adjourn to the house for a hot' meal and change of clothes. A flickering light down among the trees
+How Wal acquired his residence in the heart of Kuring-gai Chase is beyond me. The bloke's got a bushwalking club all of his own. All the walking country you could wish for in his own backyard and if weather conditions are bad he can adjourn to the house for a hot meal and change of clothes. A flickering light down among the trees guided our feet and the quietness prevailing indicated that the doings had begun. Were we too late? Lamb No.1 was almost a memory and No.2 was saluting the carver, so joining the queue we got in for our cut. A lovely thick slice of lamb from Sam, a portion of potato from Bill, green peas and mint sauce - I said mint sauce - from some angel and silence reigned supreme, with one satisfied customer lining up for a second helping. Taking a good look at this bird I resolve never to be in a food party with him. A second helping! imposs, imposs, ridic, ridic.

For the same reason I suppose there was a complete lack of skits and sketches. Rene Brown provided a surprise by singing of the pathetic experiences of Polly Perkins, late of Paddington Green. Bravo Rene! I noticed quite a large nupber of old members not seen for quite a long time. Ray Bean, very quiet I admit, but looking the same, and I began to think that if all the crowd turned up at the swimming carnival on February 14th at Lake Eckersley what an entertaining and socially successful day we could have. A free plug for the swimming carnival please Mr. Editor, but we didn't really get a chance to chat with many of our errant members and the carnival is the next event and there will be sunlight to illuminate their happy faces (we hope). The Barbecue - several of the younger lads climbing up a sheer rock face at the back of the assemblage givas rise to the suspicion that maybe the lambs - oh horror - acting the goat is O.K. with me, but as interior lining! Wal, you wouldn't treat an old pal like that. Still, the lads going up the rock face were remarkably sure footed. "The food you eat today walks and talks tomorrow". I say bah. What rot.

+By eleven quite a number were heading homewards and here this very obscure report of the Barbecue must end. Some camped the night, and were to go on a walk next day. Returning to the railway station would be quite a good enough walk and I fancy would be sufficient for most. A word of thanks to Wal Roots, Gil Webb and the other helpers. At least six hours work went into preparing the lambs. A most pleasant evening and here's hoping they feel disposed to repeat the dose next Christmas.
