+===== The Half-Yearly General Meeting. =====
+Just lately our general meetings have been a little on the slow side, but now we had our half yearly, complete with programme, that even promised us something to talk about. Lured no doubt by this promise 50 of the faithful followers presented themselves, and these the President, by dint of much diligent donging, managed to hammer into shape as a meeting at shortly after eight.
+After the minutes and reports were dealt with we arrived at General Business, and Malcolm began by moving that a fourth species of member be added to our lists, namely, the Associate Member. This he pointed out would be for the independent type of overseas or interstate visitor, to enable them to enjoy the benefits of the Club without feeling that they were getting them for nothing. Fees would be paid quarterly and be a quarter of the annual sub., and they would possess full members' rights except the right to vote.
+The motion was seconded and the President added that as usual in such cases Committee had discussed the motion and recommended it as a good one.
+Now Mr. Hardie leapt to the defence of all our innocent and gullible would-be Associates. He said we shouldn't exploit our interstate visitors; he said our Constitution was becoming too involved; he said that snooping after Associates and foreclosing on them every three months would lower the dignity of our Treasurer: he said that visitors should get the benefit of our Club rooms free and if their conscience worried them they could send a donation; he said he remembered once while photographing the Arc de Triomphe a gendarme tapped him on the shoulder; he said we had little to offer except that they could huddle in our tents; and finally he said we mustn't let them think we're only interested in money, let us be open hearted like when the Queen was here.

-After the minutes aid reports were dealt with we arrived at General Business, and Malcolm began by moving that a fourth species of member be added to our lists, namely, the Associate Member. This he pointed out would be for the independent type of overseas or interstate visitor, to enable them to enjoy the benefits of the Club without feeling that they were getting them for nothing.

-on them every three months would lower the dignity of our Treasurer: he said that visitors should get the benefit of our Club rooms free and if their conscience worried them they could send a donation; he said he remembered once while photographing the Arc de Triomphe a gendarme tanned him on the shoulder; he said we had little to offer except that they could huddle in our tents; and finally he said we mustn't let them think we're only interested in money, let us be open hearted like when the Queen was here.
 Kevin Ardill spoke then saying that, while interested in Mr. Hardie's views, he thought it probable that it was not the shoulder on which the gendarme had tapped him, and also commented that members probably cause the Treasurer more trouble than Associates would.
-Frank Rigby said that in his opinion while we were providing certain privileges, our requiring a Test Walk might seem an insult to people who were already members of overseas clubs. Also how long was one En Associate before becoming a full member?
-The President explained that there was no limitation on Associat: * membership but to become a member an associate must first become a Prospective.

-Malcolm, in answer to Frank's other queries, said the Test walk provision was to guard against odd types or where necessary to Provide local knowledge. This seemed to round things off and the motion was carried.

 Next motion was the alteration to by-law on reasonable notice. Sheila Binns moved this saying that as we were not meeting on a Wednesday this was plenty of time to round up starters and as nobody appeared to disagree strongly this was also carried.

-A(S)SAIL ON GALONG.
 "Mulga".
-When I decided on Galong Creek and Upper Breakfast Creek (more correctly Glen Alan Creek and Canyon) for a midwinter trip I was wela aware that a similar trip hadn't gone for some time, and that Megalon: Creek-Galong Creek had been washed out the previous July. And when the week preceding 16-17-16th July was rather wet, and we were only three starters, and it was miserable in Katoomba and drizzled on the way down to the 'Pub site' in Megalong, I thought that maybe even Tinpot had its points and Galong could well wait until the middle of the next dry spell.

-Malcolm has a soft spot for this area aid was as keen as mustard, Tine and I tried to Persuade the few peculiar types Whom we thought would be foolish enough to come on such a trip in such weather, but they all glanced sheepishly out of the window at the Wednesday night sleet and murmured apologetically that they just couldn't get away that weekend. Friend Meadow's eyes lit up when quizzed. 'Fes'', he said, been along Galong twice; once going up, and again when I was washed down". Answer enough!
-We found dry wood in a hollow tree on a camp spot at the first crossing of Megalong Creek, half a mile above the 'Pub site', and that, together with some of the Past-President's 'hand-lotion' made the wetness bearable. Saturday dawned fine, and to our surprise developed into a perfect weekend, so we felt most jubilant and very sorry for those who had thought twice and stayed home. "Fortune surely favours the brave'', quoth the leader at fairly regular intervals, until his philosophy was shattered by his courageous but none the less abortive attempt to climb the last cascade of Galong under several feet of water.

-Where was I? Oh yes, that dreary trek to Duncan's and down Black Jerry's. Galong is one of the most beautiful and (on the first trip, at any rate) exciting creeks in the area. Open grassy flats lead to Box Canyon (granite), and a succession of seven cascades, most of them steep, dropp ing into crystal clear pools.
-The creek was much higher than in June last, but uneventful up to the Canyon and last cascade. By this time the Party seemed to be in theil element, so the ever intrepid leader thought: "We started to go through Galong Creek; we're nearly there; should we go around this one? Never!" Arid with such thoughts he doffed his woolly shirt, grabbed the rope, and edged towards the uninviting shower bath. We pass over the next few seconds, and then haul the bedraggled one from his precarious seat overlooking and almost in the pool beneath the cascade. "Oh well, (condescendingly) it would be a bit tough for you two. Let's go around instead.' So we did.

-Upper Breakfast Creek is mostly rock-hopping to its junction with Glen Alan Creek ,.where the first sight of the latter is a vertical waterfall of some forty feet and about as wide, dropPing inta deep Pool. 1'1 quartzite ridge climbs between the two creeks, and you can scramble around the right hand side to the top left of the falls in perfect safety. Three or four falls are'negotiated in a similar way, and the last one, two miles upstream, is the father of them all. Those two miles are not conducive to comfortable canning, as Digby and I had found. There's nothing luxurious up to the Breakfast Creek junction, and we found one spot above it big enough for two men if one of them doesn't mind propping himse12- in the tent with a bush which grows conveniently where his feet pass as he slides down the slope. But it's only by giving him ,the best of everything, and breakfast in bed when it's below freezing an the Pub site, and sound advice on life in general, that I can persuade my mate to come on these two-man jaunts.

 Above the last fall Glen Alan Creek is left behind, and the terrain flattens out as you come close to the track which runs from the foot of Debert's to the Thickets. There are a few good sized pools in this stretch, and some comfortable campsites, albeit a swampy.

 We met the track on the southern side, on a ridge a little above the creek, and followed it as it swung across and north.

 Jean Schoen, who was such a tower of strength in getting the Bushwalkers the use of a hut for their recent Kosciusko holiday, called in to see them one weekend wearing a magnificent diamond engagement ring. Some lucky young engineer down on the Snowy has collected our Jean. Congratulations both.

 My dictionary defines ''dog n in this way: Noun - a domesticated carnivorous quadruped of the genus Canis. Verb, trans., - to follow as a dog: pursue Pertinaciously.
 Plainly the reason why the domesticated carnivorous quadruped of the genus Canis should not be taken on official walks is because of his habit of pursuing pertinaciously. In short, because a dog will dog. Understand, I have no quarrel with the By-law. Dogs are a trial, an unmitigated curse on a trip. I should know, because I have been plagued by dogs on trips.

 It's a pity, but I like dogs. What's more, they kndw it. Oncc a dog has made up his mind to follow me, the most menacing gestures, the most ferocious threats will not dissuade him. With a knowing twinkle in his eye he will cower or slink with a beaten air behind nearest shrub, then he will placidly pursue. The doggy anthology which follows will prove this.
