-=====Club Gossip.=====
-As congratulations seem to be the order of the day we think that in this issue we will emulate the "S.M.Herald" and run a Births, Engagements and Marriages section.
-Under the first heading we welcome two very young ladies, one the daughter of Jean and Bill Johnson and the other the daughter of Mollie (Astridge) and Arthur Waller. We look forward to making the acquaintance of these little girls whenever their proud parents can bring them to the club room.
-The next heading, "Engagements", announces, firstly, that of Muriel Hall to Lewis Mitchell. Although the gentleman enjoys camping we believe he is not a keen walker yet.
-Secondly, that of Gwen Clark to John Hunt of Kandos. We hear that Gwen is to be married shortly.
-Now for the "Marriages". Jean Malcolm and Frank Ashdown, who it a member of the C.M.W. were married before Easter. We hear that they visited "Scotty" Malcolm during their honeymoon.
-George Baker was married on 17th May, in Geelong, to Miss Esme Elmer.
-We also heard that our ex-member Arthur Austin was married recently too.
-To all the foregoing happy people we tender our congratulations and say, "Lots of luck and good wishes".
-There were two highlights in the recent social activities, one was the first club dance of the season, the other the play night at the club room. The fifty odd folks who went along to the dance had a splendid evening with lots of dancing and a very pleasant supper. Everyone voted the evening a grand one and the new Social Secretary it to be complimented on the success, in every way, of her first club dance. There's just one point that rouses our curiosity, what would happen if a "six footer" trod on the toes of the lady who dances in bare feet?
-The curtain raiser to the thriller produced by Joan Savage on the play night,
-was two monologues by our old, but rarely seen, friend Edgar Yardley. Everyone was pleased to see Edgar and to hear a new "Dolly Ballad".
-The play was amusing as well as thrill producing and the collection afterwards yielded £2.2.4d. which was handed over to the funds of the Bushwalkers' 'Services' Committee.
-By the way, the B.W.S.C. is doing good work - the latest figures show that two hundred odd packets, magazines etc. have been forwarded to the forty five members of the bushwalking clubs in the forces. It is most gratifying too, to be receiving letters of thanks and appreciation from these lads.
-If you know the addresses or change of any bush walking boys who are in the services, please pass them on to the B.W.S.C. so your friends' names may be added to the mailing list.
-Two members who are stationed in Victoria, namely, Dick Schofield and Peter Allen, have been on leave lately, we were pleased to see them in the club room.
-Harold Chardon was also up on short leave, looking bigger and better than ever. (We would like to have the address of his new milliner!) Harold said he had had dinner recently with Jack and Mrs. Debert and that Pilot Officer Jim Cranitch was also present.
-Tom Herbert has had a letter from Oliver Moriarty - somewhere in the North Sea Oliver was very pleased to receive a "round robin" letter from the club folk. He has been to Iceland and says that although there were lots of fish there were no trees in that country so he didn't like the place much.
-The Turners have written from their new home at Armidale - they apparently have no fish, but say that the trees up there are magnificent. Also they extend a warm invitation to bushwalkers that may be in Armidale to visit the Turner domicile at 114 Brown Street.
-Some people never seem to have enough of a good thing. Dot English is hardly back from New. Zealand and now she is off again for another month at Mt. Cook. It is said to be a job, but who is going to call roaming round the glaciers and snowy peaks WORK! If that is work, we say, then let us have more of it; sounds more like a holiday.
-Hilda Blunt is also jaunting again, this time we believe she has gone to Melbourne for an indefinite period.
-We don't like work much, but when its 90% play - or seems to be - then it's just fine. That's how we felt about it at the Bouddi Park Working Bee in May. Lots of people, lots of fun and frolic, lots of camp fire and song, pleasant work and lots of result. That sums up the weekend - but there's one thing we'd like to know, where did the Trustees get the super moon?

-Brian Harvey gave us this "fill-up":-
-"A doctor declares there are fewer people with bandy legs. Either that, or it is becoming too cold for shorts!"
-What do you think? We'd say the bandy legs must all be owned by hikers; bushwalkers are still roaming round the countryside, and the clubroom, in shorts of various hues. Did you see the symphony in green that left for the Blue Gum Forest the other night? No, not one of the girls, and not an extra pretty little boy scout, but Ron Eddes having a change from military khaki. Meeouw!!

-Some people don't move. Some people move and advise the Hon. Secretary of their new addresses. Some people just move. How the heck do they expect to keep in touch with the Club?
