- | Train: 8.42 a m. Wollongong train from Central Steam Station to Otford. | + | Returning to my poiht, I have noticed ever the last year or so, a growing use of a number of devices which serve to ameliorate an otherwise unhappy situation - a form of editorial cosmetic for a tired old magazine if you like. The presentation of articles under various pseudonyms (all probab1y written by the same person), the use of cartoon figures (reminiscent of certain magazines? |
- | Tickets: Otford return | + | |
- | Leader: Margaret Wilson. | + | Over my long and erstwhile active association with this club, the mainstay of the magazine has always been the accounts of walks written by enthusiastic members. These serve a twofold purpose - passing on information of tracks, routes, conditions etc. to newer members, and reviving memories for the non-active group (who probably constitute the large part of your reading public anyway). |
- | 6 The Sydney | + | |
+ | It is unfortunate but true, that the non-active cannot contribute to this phase of club life, though many have done so in their more active past. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This responsibility and burden must be carried by that happy group of active walkers, though it may require a little persuasion from the office bearers of the club to achieve. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The walks programme and reports from monthly meetings indicate a walking activity probably as vigorous as ever, but I am afraid that the same cannot be said for the support being given to the magazine from these active walkers. Education at the prospective stage and a little nagging from the Chair could undoubtedly return the magazine to its former vigour, when you could smell gum leaves as soon as you opened its pages. | ||
