About thirty of us were invited for the weekend, Jean arranged with the bus man to drive us to the farm and we being keen advocates of the walking cult were jubilant at having to do nary a step of walking. I arrived with about a dozen others on the first bus.

We had picked our campsites on the softest spots of grass in the back yard and had had refreshments when the second bus arrived. We all joined Mrs. Trimble at the gate to welcome the new campers. They had refreshments, picked out the remaining good spots for their tents, and after that we wandered round the poultry yards and cow paddock, picked out a hill to climb on the morrow, peeled dozens of spuds and shelled innumerable peas, then Morrie produced quoit and some one else a ball and we played games. The dogs thought the ball game was put on for their special benefit and ran themselves almost thin trying to get a tooth into the ball, but the ball throwers were "Olympic standard" so the poor dogs didn'get a look in.

It is no small task to feed such a large party of S.B.W'and we haven't ceased to wonder at Mrs. Trimble's wonderful ability.

After the overture, Rene played the piano and Mr. Trimble sang, then we had choruses doing full justice to the Bush Walking songs. Joan sang and recited the fairy piece she did for the concert. 'Twas the first time I had heard this piece and it certainly sounded charming. Ian also sang and recited and Jock gave us "Dangerous Dan McGrow" and so the night went on with plenty of singing till the witching hour and then we all crept off to our tents.
