+ | =====The Life And Times Of Brian G.===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | W. Gillam. | ||
+ | |||
+ | History, someone said, is the extended shadow of a single man. The portly figure of Brian G. will cast an excellent shadow as the history of the magazine for he has been associated with it for most of the twenty six years it has been published in its present form. The masthead of the magazine has shown him to be Production Manager, Business Manager or Duplicator Operator for most of that time, though it doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The magazine has been extant since 1932 when it was punted commercially at irregular intervals; it took its present form in 1937 and such was the optimism of the pub1ishers that they had printed enough covers so that eleven years later the original printing was still enclosing the latest breathless reports of new country, new prospectives and old members. That first issue was duplicated by Brian in the home of Bill Mullins, whose name even yet sets many hearts aflutter. The paper was so organised that it reached the press with no cost to the club which is one of the most elaborate euphemisms I have encountered. Persons of less literary habits than Brian would say it was pinched. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A similar air of mystery hung over the paper I stood guard over in Crown Street one night. I had met Brian for a glass of beer on the regular night we went to press. In passing he mentioned some paper he had obtained at a reasonable price. Paper was then so highly prized that the method of obtaining it discussed earlier was quite out of the question. Brian had obtained by a stroke of business acumen of a rare degree two cases of the stuff. The only problem was how to get it to the club. After another beer I suggested a taxi. Brian gave it deep thought. Expensive things taxis. Carry it then. Too far. Tram. Wouldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Vagaries of paper supply were only equalled in those times by the unreliability of the power. On nights wen there was only an occasional flicker the magazine was collated by candlelight and hurricane lamp. The immense issue to mark the club's coming of age was interrupted by a two hour blackout when half the sheets had been laid out. A late summer thunderstorm threatened to blow the issue all over the Eastern suburbs, an irate B.M. swore horribly and two sleepy collators made their way past miles of trestles to sit in the romantic gloom and count the number of fire engines and ambulances going up Oxford Street. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Publication nights were shared with a St. John's Ambulance Brass Band. The conductor, though a dedicated musician, lacked the astringent wit of a Beecham or informative chatter of Bernard Hienze. Perhaps wit and a passion for tourniquets would be too much for the one body. Collating towards a crescendo is not to be recommended for an appreciation of music. In twenty six years the Magazine hasn't failed to appear, an effort which reflects vast credit on Brian. Editors have appeared and disappeared, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Recently a small party was given by ex-editors, collators, inter-leavers and assistants of all types to congratulate Brian on such a record and to mark his final and definite retirement as Business Manager. Speeches were made and glowing sentiments expressed. It was the end of a wonderful career. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====The Car Trial.==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Just for the record - we had a car trial last month. Organised by Bill Rodgers and Jack Gentle, it was a great success in spite of near century temperatures on the Sunday. Wallacia was the overnight stop where we had a camp fire which went with a swing, and then a very warm night for camping. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After solving lots of clues (the organisers thought the questions were easy, but the competitors had other views) the team comprising Lola Wedlock, Anne Harper and Kevin Ardill came up with the largest number of correct answers. Peter Reynolds and John Mulligan were next and Esme Biddulph and her team of girls (Miriam Steenbhom and Margaret Wilson) filled third place. | ||
