 +=====The Answer Is The Question.===== 
 + 
 +Suppose almost everyone who climbs, especially when they're new or out of practice, at some time gets this feeling. It usually comes at the wrong moment, just before the most difficult or exposed part of a climb. You look down and the ground level seems to have receeded with a rush. All at once you get the feeling that you'd like to sit down on something large and flat and hang on with both hands, and how you envy those people down there so unconcernedly doing things that are perfectly safe. 
 + 
 +"What am I doing here? Risking my life in a dirty, scrubby crack on the side of an insignificant chunk of rock! Where am I going? Up to the top just to come down again (if I'm lucky). What good does it do? What madnes!!
 + 
 +Once started on the climb, it's not so bad, and by the time you've pulled yourself up that last little pinch you've begun to feel as though you own the whole mountain. And then the summit, the view, the comradeship and abseiling down again in great swoops sixty or a hundred feet. 
 + 
 +Oh! Why do we climb?

 +Why do we eat?

-With our brand new President in the chair and a comfortable number of members present, the April meeting got off to a good start by pinning the Flannel Flower Badge on Margaret Ryan. A Tipperary welcome to you Irish, and long may y1 lum reek. (horn, something wrong there.) +With our brand new President in the chair and a comfortable number of members present, the April meeting got off to a good start by pinning the Flannel Flower Badge on Margaret Ryan. A Tipperary welcome to you Irish, and lang may y' lum reek. (Hmm, something wrong there.)  
 + 
 +The next thing Margaret knew, she had been elected Assistant Secretary as well. It seems that about the only time our meetings can reach a rapid decision is when they have some innocent willing to do a job of work for them. 
 + 
 +In the correspondence we received Dave Root's explanation of the Press interview which roused the interest of so many members. The facts appear to be that to gain publicity for other clubs of which he is a member, Dave allowed himself to be interviewed, and in the midst of a welter of descriptions of breath-taking feats on rock and snow, first ascents, etc., he chanced to let slip a mention of some ascents of the Harbour Bridge. Needless to says he (and his clubs) were almost as horrified as we to see the way in which the article was written up; and the S.B.W., whose spotless? name hadn't even been mentioned, must have come from the file of a previous occasion. Apparently the Clubs that David was representing find this type of publicity a stimulant to waning membership. It will be interesting to see what effect it has on our own. 
 + 
 +After this the meeting really got down to business, and as we were wading through the reports, Ken Meadows' wife, who is new to all this, leaned across to Henry Gold (a fellow countryman) and whispered, "How long do those meetings last?" 
 + 
 +"Oh, they never finish before ten o'clock" returned Henry with conviction borne of painfull experience. Just to make him wrong, when the reports were concluded there was no general business, so the President was able to bring down the Bone at a little after nine. A jolly good meeting. Wish there were more the same!
