 Dormie seemed a little doubtful of the worth of a song book, but Ron Parkes argued that S.B.W. often proved to be "songless bright birds" around conjoint campfires, and Brian Harvey recalled happy evenings of song in the Club, Room in other places and other days. We assented to the general notion, and appointed Kath Brown as convenor, with Mrs. Stoddart, Ron Parkes, Ken Meadows, Bob Chapman and Frank Young as members, with the customary power to co-opt. Kath then appealed for suggestions for songs, and added that the words of doubtful" songs should be supplied if possible. The word,lidoUbtful" struck a chord in Bob Chapman’s mind, and he asked Will we htl re censors?h The President assured him that the Committee would look into the affair. Dormie seemed a little doubtful of the worth of a song book, but Ron Parkes argued that S.B.W. often proved to be "songless bright birds" around conjoint campfires, and Brian Harvey recalled happy evenings of song in the Club, Room in other places and other days.

Dormie asked where would we get 100, and the Treasurer explained that we had a reserve fund for purchase of equipment, amounting to about 110, at present in bonds. There was no further debate, the meeting being completed dazed, and the motion to allocate up to 100 to the purchase was given assent. ''Has anyone a drop of brandy for Mr. Harvey?cried Kevin Ardill.+Brian Harvey advanced the next item: our duplicator, he told us, had given up the ghost: it was second-, or third-, hand when we acquired it about four years ago, and although it could be repaired to some extent, he considered we should buy a new machine.
