+=== The Magazine and You. ===
+The philosophers are always telling us that "you will only gain from something in proportion to what you put into it". Nothing could be truer as far as our Magazine is concerned - it's success largely depends on the co-operation of Club members as a whole; and that means each and everyone of you!
+This would seem to be so obvious that mention of it is unnecessary. And yet, generally speaking, the great majority of members (and prospectives) seem content to take their monthly ration from the hands of the few. Now, despite how talented these regular contributors may be, a situation such as this is not always in the best interests of the Club. All too easily we can tend to become somewhat too confined almost without realising it. Conversely, as the field of contributors widens, each with his own individual material and style, so the interest-value of the Magazine must widen with it; and for the same reasons a healthy balance between the different types of items can more easily be maintained.
+Now just in case you're saying, "But I haven't got any literary talent", let us hasten to reply that firstly, it's probably untrue (nearly everyone who can read and write has potential literary talent) and secondly, it's not so important anyway. Don't be misled by any highbrow interpretation of that word "literary". This is a Club Of bushwalkers, nbt journalists, and we will certainly not use the blue pencil because your contribution does not rate with Walter Murdoch's essays. In fact, our aim is to reflect your bushwalker personalities to the fullest degree, so you see, you just have to be your natural selves, nothing more than that.
+Having got that off our chests, you may well ask what sort of material is needed. The answer is simple. Anything and everything that is of interest to bushwalkers, and to our own Club members in particular, in humorous or in serious vein and all shades between. We could mention things like trip accounts, information on walks and walking country, gossip items, personal bits and pieces and jokes concerning members and walking, humorous tales and verse, conservation items, artictes on fauna, flora and geology, cartoons, and of course, letters to the Editor (what scope __that__ gives you!). You can probably think of a few more as well, so you've got a ton of stuff to work on.
+It's mainly a case of becoming "magazine-conscious". Maybe you've just completed an interesting or adventurous trip - well, the Club would like to hear about the doings. Or perhaps you know about some good walking country that should be exploited. Don't forget the little bits of humour - they're always popular, and useful for filling up odd corners (jot them down as soon as you get home). Let's have that hunk of bushwalking philosophy you've been wanting down in print; and to Leaders, a special appeal is made (see March issue) - get some advance publicity by advertising your coming walk in these pages.
+To sum up, your Magazine will be as good as you like to make it - and the more contributors, the merrier. Let us all be reporters and we will gain that versatility that will truly make it a magazine of the Club, by the Club and for the Club.
