-who was on the last Committee, said that the book had been designed
-to prevent the singers from getting on to "la-la-la-la" after the
-first few lines. About 300 song-books had been sold, and many songs
-were included because some people liked them and they might well
-become popular. Jack Wren councilled more care in. selection of

-Aird, Colin Putt, Margaret Innes and Yvonne Renwick was appointed.

+General business started with a discussion of the printing of a new songbook. Frank Young pointed out that it was a big job and a typiste was essential on the proposed song-book committee.  Alan Wilson thought the song-book was a waste of time so far as camp fire entertainment was concerned. It was seldom seen at camp fires and added nothing to their enjoyment. Renee Brown, speaking from long experience, said that 50% or more people didn't know the words

Jack Wren councilled more care in selection of songs as about a third of the songs in the book were never sung.  A sub-committee consisting of Malcolm McGregor, Frank Young, Grace Aird, Colin Putt, Margaret Innes and Yvonne Renwick was appointed to produce a new book. Next it was debated whether or not the sub-committee should submit a list of proposed songs before the book was typed. Frank Barlow thought we should trust the Committee - the title didn't tell you anything about the song and many doubtful songs had the most innocuous titles - and this seemed to be the general view.
-      -  FOR WALKING TRIPS AND HOME USE
+By this time nearly everybody at the meeting had had their say and the next motion provided an opportunity for the remainder.  Frank Ashdown moved that the library be disbanded, the books sold by auction and the money added to Club funds. The President immediately declared the motion, in the form proposed, to be unconstitutional, because a motion to sell the Club's assets required fourteen days notice to all members. The motion was altered to read that a notice
+of intention to move should be sent to members, and the debate proceeded. Jack Wren supported the motion in this form. He said the library had served its purpose and now only harboured silverfish. Other speakers pointed out that this was just another attempt to whittle away yet another of the features which had made the Club what it is now, and instanced the discontinuance of the Club's Annual Concerts, Christmas treat for children, the publication of the Bushwalker Annual etc. as cases in point. The motion was put and lost.  (At the close of the meeting a crowd assembled outside the library cabinet and at least one member was seen to leave with four borrowed books in his hand.)
+Finally a motion was put, rather tentatively, by Jim Brown that Prospectives be allowed to attend Re-unions. Wal Rootes spoke against the motion saying it was, as its name implied, a re-union of __members__.  But people were getting tired of debating, the hour was late, the motion was put and (much to Jim's secret surprise, I'm sure) was
+carried; with which the meeting terminated.
