 There were no new members to welcome, so business opened with the reading of the minutes of the last meeting. Members who listened then understood, after interval of a month, what they had decided to do at that meeting. Correspondence contained a request for a volunteer - an adult lady - to educate some 600 girls in the art of bushwalking. As nobody of that description volunteered, the President instructed other volunteers to queue up on the left. There were no new members to welcome, so business opened with the reading of the minutes of the last meeting.

 The ridge up from the Kanangra was very steep and each member took his own time. I was considerably hindered because my feet, clad in two pairs of Paddy's socks, kept sliding out over the back of my sneakers. However, on arrival at the saddle we were rewarded with magnificent views of Kanangra Walls and we could look into the velvet folds of Thurat Rift, Danae Brook and the Thurat Spires. The ridge up from the Kanangra was very steep and each member took his own time.

 Having been charmed by Bill Ketas' music-making first at our own Re-union Campfire and then at the one held by the Federation, I thought I would ask him to show my little daughter Chris what a violin looked like close up. Like so many children of this age she had never seen one. Bill did not mind showing his treasure - so on that golden Sunday morning at Low, Angle Gully he took it out of its case, unwrapped the silk wrapping cloth, and demonstrated how to make the strings sing. He also told me that his violin was 200 years old. "Although", said Bill, "that doesn't necessarily mean it is any better than one made now". But 200 years!  Before Mozart was writing his first violin concerto, this violin was being played. It must have been cherished and played as generations of music lovers came and went, and now it graced our bushwalker campfires! Having been charmed by Bill Ketas' music-making first at our own Re-union Campfire and then at the one held by the Federation, I thought I would ask him to show my little daughter Chris what a violin looked like close up.

 Eight members, three prospective members and two visitors made up the party of the alternate Anzac Weekend Official Walk to Splendour Rock, when the opportunity was taken to lay a wreath on the Bushwalkers' War Memorial, in memory of our four late Club members. Publicity of this act was given in Column 8 of the "Sydney Morning Herald" of 23rd April. The party felt "as safe as houses" with a doctor, ex-A.I.F. nursing sister, Ex-Leading Sick Berth Attendant, R.A.N.R., first-year nurse, and a Captain of Commandos in their numbers! In spite of this imposing array, one semi-crock did come out in Harry Lorang's car from Carlon's! The weather on Sunday and Monday was gloriously sunny, much to the delight of those who were visiting the "dogs" for the first time. And home in a first-class carriage in the Silver Train. 'Tis a pity there won't be Anzac Weekends until 1965 and 1966. Eight members, three prospective members and two visitors made up the party of the alternate Anzac Weekend Official Walk to Splendour Rock, when the opportunity was taken to lay a wreath on the Bushwalkers' War Memorial, in memory of our four late Club members.
