 The meeting then discussed a motion that the room stewards be requested to arrange the furniture to suit the convenience of members. It was pointed out that there was no need, beyond our own inertia, for members to be forever groping their way round the clutt er of forms and t able s near the door, or sitting only five rows back at meetings and complaining they couldntt hear. Determined room stewards, prepared to give a quarter of an hour at the beginning and end of meetings to the job, could clear a space near the door, arrange the seat s closer together and perhaps effect other improvements. Kath Brown said that this wouldn't be much fun for the room stewards if only one turned up, as so often happened. Kevin Ardill thought it was a constructive proposal and should be given a trial. Roy Bruggy professed to be reasonably happy with our lot. The club room was as handy and as good as we could get for the money, and the tables and forms very useful just as they were placed.' Jack Wren said the keynote of the discussion was "inertia". Bushwalkers were not addicted to helping themselves. Jess Martin pointed out that room stewards weren't supposed to do all the work themselves, but to organise people to help. The motion was carried and Kevin Jack Perry and haex Jolley volunteered for the job. The meeting then discussed a motion that the room stewards be requested to arrange the furniture to suit the convenience of members.

 Never before have I been on a trip which has involved so much planning and preparation as this trip to Mt. Anne. The food was calculated to the last calorie, and we were equipped to take the worst weather Tassie could throw at us  and probably more besides. In order to lighten our loads on the way in, we took only four days' food and the dried moat which was to form the basis of our evening meals  the rest was to ho flown in. On Monday, 1st September, we boarded the 4.00 p m. bus for I'laydena and settled down for a nice comfortable 'bus ride. Unfortunately the recent bad weather had washed away the road, so halfway we were forced to change transport. All the locals filed into a car, whilst we three ncharliosu ended up on the bad.; of an old table top timber truck amongst the locals' baggage. Never before have I been on a trip which has involved so much planning and preparation as this trip to Mt.
