 Our enjoyment will be tinged with regret at the absence of those of our members who are on war service. They will be missed by us and they will no doubt regret missing the re-union, but we are confident that their sacrifices will help to bring happier days when we can be all together again and re-une in the care-free, happy spirit of bushwalkers. Our enjoyment will be tinged with regret at the absence of those of our members who are on war service.

 As a result of all that intensive brainwork I decided to worry at 10 o'clock meanwhile - I took off one boot and holding a bit of my straw hat handy tried striking one sprig against the other with no result except that I got very warm.
