+===== Editorial: "To Live is to Adapt". =====
 When a Car Trial, of all things, first appeared on our Walks Programme, many people raised their eyebrows and looked askance at an idea which somehow seemed remote from our normal walking activities. "Are we a bushwalking club or a hotch-potch club?" someone was heard to say. Never before in the Club's thirty years of history had anything quite so revolutionary been dared.
-As the event turned out, it was an outstanding success, and although the leaders could scarcely have foreseen it, the Car Trial couldn't have come at a better time. Just when widespread. bushfires and the fire-lighting ban had made ordinary bushwalking extremely unpleasant, if not impossible, thirty odd members in eight cars were able to get away from the city and enjoy a weekend to remember. Nor was the bushwalking flavour absent by a long shot - there was excellent camping and swimming, a sing song, folk dance evening, the relaxation of the open countryside and the bush, the usual S.B.W. warm companionship

You could have almost called it bushwalking on wheels.

 Perhaps there is a moral to be learned from this event. Perhaps it is that we should not be afraid of reasonable innovations, particularly when times are bad. Let us not squash the new idea simply because it is new or unorthodox - let's give it a fair hearing and a fair trial. The Club which can keep its members active and interested while sailing through the stagnant doldrums is the Club which will sail back into favourable winds with flying colours.
