 Ah yes, the people. When I came to this club about five years ago, my first sensation was a strange one, hard to describe. It was, more than anything, a feeling of coming home  a spiritual unity. I knew that these were my kind of people and I was happier than over before. Now that I've read more, and spoken to more people, and thought a bit about it, I realise that it goes much further than just our club or the Federation or even the other bushwaikers of Australia.

 One hundred and fifty bushwalkers means a lot of fun, especially with Era as a background to their antics, so you will understand why this reunion was such a success.

 This brought us to the "determination of the annual subscription". alaude Haynes moved that it remain the same  The advice of the Treasurer was sought and he pointed out that in 1952, when the last substantial rise occurred, we lost 46 members and the following year 42, as compared with a usual loss of 12 to 20 members. He said that perhaps two-thirds of our income came from members who, though they paid full active rat, in fact did little walking. They were eb silc)' lost by stiffer rates. Bill Closgrove said that a small deficit could easily be covered from accumulated funds, and counselled nwaiting till it happened" before raising fees.

 Lunch disposed of, what do we see? The very young, pursued by vigilant dads and mums, scattering in the direction of the river and the lovely black mud; the Opera addicts getting into small groups to flex their vocal cords; the fire-builders constructing a professional campfire, for the first time in many years without the supervision of Bill Henley who was unfortunately having a spell in bed. The usual round of re-uning took place, and great was the joy of old-timers to see the happy faces of Ray and Peter Page at a re. union after so many years. Lunch disposed of, what do we see?

By the time the prospective had been summarily dealt with by the 'hanging judge' it was time for supper. The crowd lined up with their mugs and soon the swilling of cocoa and the munching of biscuits made music on the air. You might think this was the end of the evening, but if so you would undoubtedly be very new to the Glub; actually by now the participants had got their second wind and a new bout of entertainment started - small individual groups this time, here Opera, there Gilbert and Sullivan, somewhere among a small group the sound of Tarols flute, Irish songs and loud laughter from a moonshiney tent somewhere beyond the fireshino.

 I suppose there have always been white ants in the club, from (or soon after) its foundation, but as I recallgthe older type had a much more delicate approach than their present-day 'counterpart. This approach consisting of a softer and a somehow nicer undermining of loader's trip. Like the trip where the whole party (that is except the leader) had agreed with ene unnamed scoundrel that it would be far better to cut the day's hot ridge walk short and have a couple of hours swimming and loafing down the river, but there was no open mutiny, nothing so undiplomatic. One of the fairer sex, well known for her fair looks and bewitching mile, volunteered to put our cause to the leader. So as the walk progressed she drew level with the leader and after asking a few indirect questions, complimented him on his bush sense and regard for the comfort of the party. Then a few questions about the river and swimming holes, till at the next rest he offered "What about cutting down the next ridge for a swim?" How much nicer for all concerned than what is so often heard nowadays as a leader starts slugging up a ridge, confident that the party is at his heels, to hear someone call "Game back yuh slob, we're having a swim". I suppose there have always been white ants in the club, from (or soon after) its foundation, but as I recallgthe older type had a much more delicate approach than their present-day 'counterpart.
