+====== New President Decked with Symbols of Office ======
 At the General Meeting on 8 April, our new president, Eddy Giacomel, was invested with the Symbols of Office. This moving, heart-warming and traditional ceremony was witnessed by the members present.  Alex Colley, the doyen of the ex-presidents and SBW tribal elder, assisted and accompanied by 3 fellow ex-presidents, (Tony Holgate, Bill Holland and Greta James) collectively spoke the words and bedecked Eddy with the symbols and wished him (and the Club) well in his term of office.

 The cupboard is bare. No articles in stock, In reserve there is zilch, nil, zero, nothing, SFA, in comparison Mother Hubbard was a well endowed hoarder. With no articles the magazine will crash.  Mr Murdoch or Mr Packer might make a hostile take-over grab for the magazine in its weakened state.  What am I to do? Jump over the Gap? No never!  Offer money and prizes?  Now that might work.  No, the way forward is via guilt.  Hang a great big guilt trip over the readers.  It's their magazine; they read it; they should also write it. All I do is put the pieces together.  No articles, no worries, it's the readers fault, nothing to do with me.  I'm one of the good guys.  It's the readers (better still call them the non-writers) who are the bad guys.  It's the non-writers who'll have to do something about the reams of blank pages that threaten the Sydney Bushwalker, not me.

 Is all this becoming too much for me?  Maybe the Committee will send me on an all expenses paid holiday to Hawaii again.  Perhaps I should have a Bex, a cup of tea and a good lie down, then I'll feel better and will be able to finish the April Sydney Bushwalker.
