+===== At Our Annual General Meeting. =====
+Alex Colley.
+Our thirty-fourth Annual General Meeting commenced with a welcome to new member Fred Thynne.
+As requested at our last meeting, Brian Harvey, Magazine Business Manager, had made inquiries about a new duplicator. Brian reported that, as a result of his investigations, he was of the opinion that a Rota machine, costing £129.7.6 would be suitable. The net cost to the Club, after allowing £l5 for a trade-in of the old machine, would be £114.7.6. He moved that we purchase the machine, the cost to be borne £50 by the Club and £64.7.6 by the magazine, which could afford this amount by reason of accumulated surpluses bringing cash in hand and at bank to £96.10. (Members will recall that Fred Kennedy donated £50 to Club funds for this purpose - the real net cost to Club funds would therefore be nil under Brian's proposal). The motion was well received. Jack Gentle pointed out that the duplicator was the hardest worked machine in the Club. Clem Hallstrom's main concern was that we were not spending enough, and he moved an amendment that the amount should be increased by £40. This was debated at some length. Brian told is that the only difference between the model he proposed and the next most expensive, costing another £70 was that the more expensive machine was electrically operated. Colin Putt said that, from an engineering viewpoint, if the machine was strong enough to withstand the battering of mechanica1 motivation it would be adequately strong for hand operation. Colin counselled spending the money immediately on a new machine before we had time to think of something else quite useless to spend it on. Ray Kirkby was of the opinion that our choice should be determined by whether it was the machine or the operator, Denise Hull, that would wear. In reply Brian strongly recommended the hand operated machine. He said it would do the job adequately and was simple and easy to service. His motion was carried.
+Next Jack Gentle explained to the meeting the purpese of his constitutional amendment. He said that one of the reasons for writing letters to Federation, instead of leaving Club business to our delegates, was that Federation delegates were not on committee and did not always attend general meetings. He thought it would be an advantage too if the term of our delegates corresponded with the Club year. This would enable Federation delegates from other Clubs to get to know them before the annual election of Federation delegates in July. The amendment was carried.
+In his walks report Wilf Hilder told us that his exploration of the Block-up area at the beginning of February had been attended by three prospectives who had walked and swam very well. The Saturday walk on the Grose on the same weekend was hot. Camp sites along the Grose, always few, are now non-existent between the Faulconbridge track and Burralow Creek. On the week-end of 16, 17 and 18, the weather was so bad that Stuart Brooks with four members and four prospectives was unable to determine his exact position in the mists which encompassed Mountain Lagoon, with Frank Ashdown's beach trip with Brian Harvey's Boat trip were cancelled. Alice Smith's Wood's Creek - Burralow Creek trip on the next week-end was attended by 6 members and 1 prospective. The instructional week-end, led by Dick Child, was enjoyed by 6 Members, 10 prospectives and 1 visitor. Wilf also told us that the Gundangeroo area was now covered by two Lands Department maps.
+In response to a request from Federation, Brian Harvey moved, and it was resolved, that the S.B.W provide suitable camp fire entertainment, in keeping with the commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of the reservation of Bluegum forest, at the Federational annual reunion to be held there this year. At Ron Knightley's suggestion, Wal Roots was made the convenor of a committee to orgenise the entertainment. Delegates reported that Federation was seriously concerned about our report (from last meeting) of the proposed bulldozed road over Cloudmaker.
+It was decided to leave the annual subscription and entrance fee unchanged.
+Jim Brown reported more dog traps in walking country (one went off and grazed his shoe). The traps are on the Sassafras-Tolwong Road, beyond the good motor road and on the track along the south side of Jerricknorra Creek near the Gap leading to Hadboro Creek.
+In general business Elsie Bruggy appealed for lady search and rescue members. Phyllis Ratcliffe suggested that, in our lectures to scouts we should tell them more about light weight gear, and in particuliar, advise little scouts not to carry big heavy ropes, great gridirons and other backbreaking paraphenalia.
+Heather Joyce offered the thanks of S. and R. to the people out on two recent searches. One hundred and two had turned out for the Katoomba search, which had occasioned very favourable comment from the police. It might prove possible to recompense searchers from public funds.
+While these discussions took place the election of officers went on. It was after 10 p.m. when he President closed the meeting and called upon members to "reune".
+A full list of office-bearers will be published next month.

+===== You Budding Frank Hurley's. =====
+Polish up the wide angle lenses and exposure meters, oil the tripod and get cracking!
+"Why?" you ask. - Foolish you!
+Apparently you haven't heard that they're looking for a good scenic shot (in colour, naturally) for this year's N.P.A. Xmas card.
+Don't forget, what Helen Barrett has done, any of you can do (except of course, for talking George Gray into getting married. Anyway, why the beard now, George?)
+So if you have something good in the way of a colour slide, or as soon as you get such, produce it for scrutiny.
+See Tom Moppett (41-8873), John White (MX2271 - B) or the Editor. Suggest you place it in an envelope, with your name on it. (the envelope, you clot).
