 The meeting eomraeneed with a welcome to two new members  Lyndsey Grey and Graham Cowell.
-The reading of the minutes revealed a plot to arrange the clubroom furniture uncOnstitution ally. The motion covering the disposition of furniture was, according to Frank Ashdown, out of order because it had been seconded by an unfinancial member. Though at first reluctant to reveal who had told him the seconder  was unfin ancial, he later divulged that it was the Treasurer. As an alternative to replacing the furniture night by night back to. the 8th. Oct ober, Frank thought we should remove the motion and discuss it again. Brian Harvey, however,. said. it had now become a bylaw, and couldn't be rescinded. Before the bash lawyers were able to enter the fray, Ken Meadows resolved the crisis by pointing out that, at the time the seconder had seconded the notion he had not been informed that he was unfinancial; therefore, since he had not received notification, he was not unfinancial. This, said the President, settled the matter, and ordered "no further discussion herewith".

 The meeting accepted with regret the resignation of Don Newis as Social Secretary. A change in the Technical Jollege time-,table made it impossible for Don to carry on.
-There were no reports from any i.3lub officers except the room stewards. Of the three room stewards appointed at the last meeting, one had turned up every night, one on four out of five nights, and the other not at all.

 Next we proceeded to elect a new Walks Secretary and a committee member. There were four nominations for Walks Secretary and three for committee member. Bill Rodgers was elected Walks Soc. and Irene Pridham committee member. Brian Harvey was elected Substitute Federation Delegate. Because Rodgers was a committee member, his election as Walks Sec. leaves another vacancy to fill at thc next meeting.
-On a motion by Brien Harvey, the name of the Bill Henley Cup was changed to "Bill Henley Memorial Oup" and the cup is to be engraved as such.

 When we arrived at the top it was early for lunch, but no one felt it was TOO early. As a matter of fact, it began as a snack and gradually increased to become the real thing. We boiled billies for tea, than settled contentedly to eat and regard the view. In the background: from the corner of one's eye, Barry could be seen laboriously compounding one of those cold dessert mixtures. It took ages. Stirring, shaking, a long pause to study the directions. Barry is a most fastidious cook. Gradually preparations reached some kind of climax. The shaking ceased, the lid was removed and there lay a pint of pallid quivering pulp. With his eyes gleaming behind his spectacles, he seized his spoon 4nd took an onormou s mouthfull. Then, as we wat died, his =pro salon changed from joyous anticipation to one of loathing and disgust.

 Like Kanangra, the views from this ridge top never cease to be impressive. For over 2500 your eye can range; from the deep cutting that hides Bungonia Jreek, up the ravelling skein of Jorrara Falls, then over the bare bones of the earth where vegetation sinks back from the broken rock ribs that go hiccoughing down to the stream, a string of queer beads. Further off, the slot of Bungonia Gorge cleaves the limestone mountain, while at your foot the haggard spiney ridges jumble in together.
