 An offer from Paddy Pallin of maps of the Southern area of Tasmania, including Federation Peak and Port Davey, was accepted with thanks.

We were disappointed to learn that this exciting description was merely a slip of the tongue - "undersea exploration" is the sub-title.

The particular case he had in mind was that of Frank Cramp, but he knew of four other cases where feelings had been hurt. The Committee, he said, should look into the reasons for members going out, as well as considering those coming in. The Committee's job did not end with sending out three letters; a personal approach should be made.

+The President explained that the Committee was bound by the Constitution and by-laws. The Constitution stated that subscriptions were due and payable at the Annual General Meeting and any member whose subscription was due and unpaid for two months should, at the discretion of the Committee, cease to be a member. Actually the unfinancial members received three notices, the last of which stated that they had been crossed off the list but would be re-instated should their subscription be received. The notices were carefully framed to avoid hurting feelings. It was unfortunate that the special circumstances of Frank Cramp's case had been overlooked when sending out the third notice, but when the Committee realised this, action had been taken.

+Allan Hardy said that he knew of a married couple who had just let their subscription lapse because they were offended by the third notice. He thought that if members could be informed personally instead of by letter it would be more effective. In his work he had found that if a list of the unfinancial was made available, their friends would usually remind them. He moved that no third notice be sent, but in its place a list of the unfinancial be prepared and published in the magazine. Opposing this motion, Colin Putt said that those who took offence were really angry with themselves for being foolish enough to forget, and the Committee could do nothing to overcome this failing. The motion was lost.

+Alex Colley then moved that there be no variation in the present procedure. He said that in this matter his sympathies were entirely with the Committee. It was unfortunate that they did not hear of the continuance of Frank Cramp's illness, but since he was hardly known to most of them personally they could not be expected to know. The Club's officers put a lot of voluntary time and effort into running the Club, and it was up to the old members, as well as everybody else, to make their task easier rather than give them needless additional work. There was more than enough work in sending out three notices, and those who wouldn't take the trouble to answer them deserved to be crossed off. The motion was carried.
