+=====Federation Reunion.=====
+- "Taro".
+Once again the Federation Reune bas been and gone. This time with perfect weather - remember last time, huddled under oilys, watching showers trying to spit the fire out, while all the singers or talkers fought the mild windy bass of the surf and lost, and then battled through boggy ground to tenty homes.
+This time we had a clear calm night, The Milky Way - the cream of the sky - never so dazzling. The glass stayed at 62 degrees all night.
+If this is not perfection - you tell me. In spite of this I do not think B.P. is an ideal spot for a re-une, which obviously is a getting together. The whole place is a scatter of nests, to find anyone even in daylight is quite a job.
+A proper re-une would be in a more open flat, where the many groups could be seen, heard and talked to.
+I can recall re-unes where each Club had its pennant announcing its cluster, where every one was issued with a disc stating name and club. North Era would be far better even if big timber is not available. In summer only a token fire is needed, the creek would suffice, and the Pacific - quiet from there - awaits the surfers or bogey holers.
+Once again the surf bass did its job and made it hard to catch the goings on. The C.M.W. again topped the attendance score, plus a fine skit on Robin Hood, the work of Helen McMaugh, who missed it by being away on the high seas - not too high, we hope.
+It was good to get a witty and coherent spin for so long - and the location - in the bush - gave it reality. __And__ they had their own orchestral accomts. to "South Pacific" music, from our clever mouth organist Frank M. Kone.
+Another fine legit. turn came from Ken Stuart who, after some coaxing, revealed the advantages of one enchanted evening. This gave enormous pleasure to the entire company, he seemed to warm up the whole show - and turned it into a really gay communal spin that could, and should, have gone on till dawn - everyone was just in tune for it. I cannot recall such a simmer. THEN - crash! at 10 supper was announced and the entire circus collapsed like a pricked balloon, and never recovered. 10 o'clock, Gad -! Clocks should be forgotten at these jollos, everything should drift, like wind swept leaves, fun without end, amen.
+Shhh .. only cringing shame stops me telling the world that out of the S.B.W. 250 - barely a dozen turned up.
