-There was a vide gamut of entertainment on the programme, though community singing was notably short due, I suppose, to the number of items. On the serious side we had some fine recorder playing by Christine Kirkby and songs by Scotty Malcolm, Mildred Huntington, Renee Browne, Eric Rowen and Brian Harvey.+There was a wide gamut of entertainment on the programme, though community singing was notably short due, I suppose, to the number of items.

 Sketches were topical, typical and sometimes epileptical. The young children were organised by Pam Baker into a presentation of "Clementine" and I hope that we shall see more efforts by the children. Some older children (Nobles plus friend) put on a very creditable sketch based on Little Red Riding Hood. Bravo, let's have some more. Sketches were topical, typical and sometimes epileptical.

 If Bushwalkirg is ever to be recognised as a Good Thing by the public, it will be through some activity other than our weekend walking. It will be, alas, many many years before the public even begins to appreciate our conservation efforts, although that is no reason to let them slacken. But it is always possible that some daring and successful expedition, discovery, or reserve by bushwalkers might catch the public's fancy one day, and may the Lord help the Membership Secretary! If Bushwalkirg is ever to be recognised as a Good Thing by the public, it will be through some activity other than our weekend walking.

-While the public think of us very little, we think of ourselves quite a lot, and __this__ is where it does behove us to watch our behaviour a little more closely. Internal Intolerance is our greatest danger, and as I sit, at the time of writing, pretty squarely on the half way fence of our threescore years and ten, I feel exceptionally well fitted to explain to Older Members that boys will be boys, and to Younger Members that Older Members will be Older Members, and to all that the only way to justify your claims to consideration is to do something for the Club. A club, fortunately, tends to form itself into internally compatible groups, but if a Club is to remain as such, these groups must make frequent contact, and here we get the minor annoyances of less nature groups making their presence too suddenly and physically feltby their seniors, and of over-ripe groups** getting, by cunning and constitutional means, to force mature younger members like crated oranges, with an atmosphere of gas***.+While the public think of us very little, we think of ourselves quite a lot, and __this__ is where it does behove us to watch our behaviour a little more closely.

 What our club, and on the larger scale the Bushwalking movement needs, is a lot more people making the effort to occasionally get out with other groups and other clubs, to find out how the other half lives. The conclusion to which I have so laboriously waded is, Sir, that charity begins at home, and by way of shaking the gravel out of my boots after this effort,  I will reiterate, that most of our public posturing is worse than useless, showing us up as a pack of ratbags, and that, until we show, amongst ourselves, some more interest in each other, that is just what we are. What our club, and on the larger scale the Bushwalking movement needs, is a lot more people making the effort to occasionally get out with other groups and other clubs, to find out how the other half lives.
