+On Sunday 18th February our President, Fazeley Read, was injured on a bush walk. Fazeley has both bones below the knee broken in her left leg.
 The accident occurred oh Pat McBride's Barrington Tops National Pork walk. On Sunday at 9.30 am. the party was making its way down the steep river bed of the upper Allyn River. Christine Austin, who was directly behind Fazeley, saw a rock start to topple and made an attempt to stop it falling, but was unsuccessful (It probably weighed about 1001bs.) Chris yelled a warning but Fazeley was unable to get clear in time. The rock hit a log and tipped sideways onto her lag. It was immediately obvious that her leg was badly broken.

 It was 2.30 am. Monday when the party reached Lagoon Pinch. While the police there fed the bushwalkers and rescuers, Fazeley was rushed off in the ambulance. A doctor was called by radio when she developed severe abdominal cramps, and he met the ambulance halfway to Maitland.
-Fozeley is, to this date (Feb. 23rd) still in Maitland Hospital. All her bushwalking friends wish her a speedy recovery.

+Last month Dorothy Butler turned 100. To celebrate her centenary, this famous Australian mountaineer, gastronome, conservationist, raconteur,philanthropist, psychologist, and former leader of Haute Couture in Sydney has for the first time in many years, agreed to give an interview. Her judgments on contemporary society, as seen from  her varied and some say unique life style, should be of interest to all who read this magazine.
+Born in 1879, in the middle of the Simpsons Stoney Desert (her parents at the time were on a Wildflower Collecting Expedition organized by the Universitad de Paraguay); educated at the Presbyterian Ladies College in Barrallier, at the insistence of her adopted Brazilian parents; earned her degrees "cum laude" at the University of Goondowindi and achieved notoriety by her long distance penny-farthing rides in the early part of the century. Her career was always in New South Wales, apart from a short stay in New Zealand where she was a hostess at the Mt.Cook nightclub. Her whole life nowadays is collecting money for her Nudist (Kangaroo Valley) Department, known as the N.K.V.D. to her cronies, and to her memorizing the Works of Count Allesandro Manzoni.
+Q. Mrs. Butler, in your autobiography, you state rather ungrammatically, "If everybody would be a mirror image of me - so much the better for the world to be". Is that why you mostly made friends with people younger than yourself?
+A. Yes, but also the young at heart. All my life I've tried to encourage the coming generation with my uninhibited ways, even though Society sometimes frowned.

 Persons interested in attending should see me in the clubrooms on most Wednesday evenings for further details as some pii-ocessed negatives are required for the initial work as film processing is generally covered later on in the day.
