The Annual Report, Accounts and Balance Sheet for 1948.

THE OBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION, &c. The Association of British Members of the Swiss Alpine Club was founded in 1909, with the main object of encouraging climbers and walkers in this country to join that Club. The S.A.C. (to give it its usual abbreviation) is nearly as old as the Alpine Club itself, and for over half a century has gone on steadily with its work of making the Alps accessible to climbers and others, in particular by building the 90 or more Club Huts which now exist. Before this Association came into being there had been many British members of the Club. But these were the exceptions rather than the rule, partly because the average British climber had no idea how to join, and partly because it did not occur to him that there was any point in doing so. But among those who were members, there were some who felt that such a state of affairs ought not to continue; that if our climbers used the huts, they should do something to help to maintain them, and that by some means it should be made easy to join the S.A.C. The energy of the late Mr. J. A. B. Bruce created a strong Committee, which undertook this matter and brought this Association into being under the late Mr. Clinton Dent as President. Within two years of the start there were 300 members and their number has continued to grow. The result of our activities is that the proportion of our countrymen who climb in the Alps and are now members of the S.A.C. is very large, and most of them are also members of this Association. 2 At the same time it was felt that there was need for a rallying point over here for these “ clubists,” and as it is not possible, by the rules of the S.A.C., for a section to be formed outside Switzerland, as was the case with the D.Oe.A.V. (which had a section at Manchester at one time), the Association acquired a room in which its members could meet together, and took upon itself some­ thing of the functions of a Club. All these arrangements were only undertaken after consultation with the Central Committee of the S.A.C., and the latter cordially welcomed ' . the enterprise. In addition, as it was felt that we British climbers owed Switzerland something for past remissness, the fund to build the Britannia Hut was started and the building successfully carried through by 1912. The Association has been able, in many ways, to co-operate with our Swiss colleagues, and at times to represent to them our views on mountaineering matters. On the other hand, the Central Committee has always looked on us with the greatest favour and has dealt very cordially with anything we have put before it. The number of members is now 665 and an analysis of the list of members shows their distribution among the various sections to be as follows :—

Altels - - 14 Interlaken - 63 Diablerets - - 123 Monte Rosa - 161 Geneva - 115 Oberhasli - 13 Grindelwald - 42 Other Sections - 49 The membership of the Swiss Alpine Club itself is now over 30,000 in about 80 sections.

NEW MEMBERS.

190 new members have joined during the past year, but 10 have died and 83 have resigned or not paid their sub­ scriptions. It is hoped that members will make every effort to secure new candidates for the Association. 3 The numbers are now :—- December 31st, 1948 758 Less Resignations, Deaths, etc., during 1948 93 Total, January 1st, 1949 - 665 Of these, 81 are Life Members, 7 Honorary Members, 499 Ordinary Members, and 78 on the Retired List. PROGRESS OF THE ASSOCIATION. Beginning with 26 Members in 1909 the membership rapidly rose until the first World War, when there was naturally a falling off; but from 1920 onwards the num­ bers rose again to over 700, when the financial crisis of 19 31 hit the tourist industry in Switzerland very badly. The depreciation of the Pound kept the younger men away from the Alps to a noticeable extent, though by the summer of 1939 an improvement was beginning to show. The Second World War naturally brought a heavy slump, and the numbers fell to below 400. With the re-opening of the Alps however in 1946, new members again began to come in at a very satisfactory rate, and quite a number of old ones rejoined. 1947 brought in a record number of new members, many of them being from Scotland and the north of England, and the upward progress was more than maintained throughout 1948. Provided that nothing untoward happens in 1949 there is every indication that the Association will find itself larger than ever before.

Quite apart from the sentimental feeling that a member of die S.A.C. is helping mountaineers in the country in which he is a guest to add to the amenities of the sport, the definite material advantages are set out below. Rights in the S.A.C. Huts. Members of the Club, together with their wives, have priority of right to the sleeping places and in many huts there is a room for members only; next after members comes the ladies’ Swiss Club, and then the kindred clubs, such as the French A.C. Anyone else is really in a club hut on sufferance. In addition a member pays, in most huts, only i franc per night, and a non-member 3 francs. Those who intend to climb have priority over others in the same category. A member may introduce his wife and children (under 20 years of age) on the same terms as himself. Members are entitled to use any S.A.C. Hut regardless of what Section they may belong to. It is worth remembering, in connection with projected visits to huts that while a Section may reserve a hut for its members to the extent of three-quarters of its capacity only, one-quarter is always available for others of the S.A.C. It is generally worth the trouble before going to a hut to ascertain from a local hotel-keeper whether a hut is so reserved, and if it is, to go up there early in the day. As a rule these reservations may not be made on Saturdays and Sundays. It is when one comes down to a hut on a day when it has been reserved, that the advantages of membership are most precious. A few of the huts in Switzerland do not belong to the S.A.C., but as a rule these are run in close alliance with that Club and the special regulations make little difference to members of the S.A.C. Reductions on Railways. But the matter which, perhaps, makes the greatest appeal to many people is the advantages due to the large reductions made to members on the mountain railways 5 (except in the Engadine). In taking a holiday in some districts a member saves, in these reductions, considerably more than his subscription to the Club. For convenience we publish the official list of the reductions, somewhat abbreviated, from “ Die Alpen,” February, 1948. These reductions, as a rule, apply only to a member, and do not include his wife and children. 50% Aigle-Leysin ;. Arth-Rigi; Brunnen-Morschach- Axenstein; Furka-Oberalp; Gerschnialp (33% only on return tickets and no reduction on the descent) ; Gornergrat; Interlaken-Heimwehfluh ; Martigny-Chatelard ; Ritom ; Visp-Zermatt. 40% Aigle-Sepey-Diablerets ; Monthey-Champery-Mor- gins; Montreux-Glion, Territet-Glion, and Glion- Rochers de Naye (no reduction on intermediate stages); Sierre-Montana-Vermala. 30% Jungfrau; Leukerbad ; Niesen; Nyon-St. Cergue- Morez; Schwyz-Stoos Drahtseilbahn. 25% Berner Oberland; Bex-Villars-Bretaye (Chamos- saire) ; Lauterbrunnen - Murren - Allmendhubel (Seilbahn) ; Muottas-Muraigl; Schynige Platte ; Wengernalp. 20% Beckenried-Klewenalp (Luftseilbahn); Braunwald ; Brienz-Rothom-Bahn ; Pilatus ; Santis-Schwebe- bahn; Stanserhorn; Lake of Thun to Beaten- berg. There are also minor reductions in connection with motor-cars in one or two places. To obtain these reductions it is absolutely necessary to present the card of membership when booking. It is worth noting that the reductions are mostly available to members of the corresponding Ladies’ Swiss Alpine Club, so that the old feminine grievance that only 6 the men got any reductions is now a thing of the past, if ladies will join their Swiss Club. In this connection, the Hon. Secretaries may be able to advise members how their friends of the other sex may join the ladies’ club, which does not seem to be so well known as it might be. We may add that the badge of the ladies’ club is a particularly attractive one. These benefits may be described as the purely personal ones ; but one of the most attractive features is the Accident Insurance Policy which covers all members, details of which will be found on another page. The premium involved (which is included in the annual sub­ scription) is far less than anything that can be offered by any British Insurance Company. Lastly, but not least in importance, all members receive post free a monthly publication, published under the titles of “ Die Alpen ” or “ Les Alpes,” which contains articles of mountaineering and scientific interest in both French and German, occasionally in Italian and Romansch—and in English if our members will contribute them. It is beautifully illustrated, and young and ardent lovers of the Alps who want to know more of their beauties, older members who are content to look on them and older still those who live in memories of the past which this monthly review revives, may well think that it is worth the amount of the annual subscription even if the other advantages are no longer or can no longer be made use of. Members can also get the S.A.C. Publications, includ­ ing guide books, at reduced prices.

HOW TO JOIN THE SWISS ALPINE CLUB.

It is often thought by candidates that the qualification for membership may be a bar to joining the S.A.C. This is not necessarily the case. Most Sections require only a moderate qualification, guaranteed, however, by the assurance of a member that the candidate has some mountaineering experience. Officials of the Club will always be pleased to render assistance in this matter. The 7 following is the procedure for anyone who wishes to join:— Write to the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. C. T. Lehmann, 28, Monument Street, E.C.3, or to one of the Hon. Secretaries (letters should be marked S.A.C. on the envelope) ; in this letter the writer should state whether he wishes to join a French, German, or Italian-speaking section. The entrance form, when filled in, must be returned in all cases to Mr. Lehmann, together with a small photo­ graph, passport si2e, and the necessary subscription and entrance fee. For the benefit of those who leave things until the last moment, we would point out that arrangements have been made whereby members of the Geneva, Diablerets, Monte Rosa, Grindelwald and Interlaken Sections (the first three being French-speaking and the last two German-speaking) can be enrolled at this end. This takes a week or ten days if members also join the Association. Normally it takes about two months, as in the case of all other sections it is necessary to communicate with the local Committees. A list of the principal sections, together with their subscriptions, will be found at the end of this report. In addition, the subscription to the Association is £ 1 for Town members and 10s. for Country members. A Country member is defined under the Rules as being a member who resides outside a radius of 50 miles of Charing Cross. There is no entrance fee. Anyone who joins the Association may pay through Mr. Lehmann by remitting him each January the necessary subscription. The Association is willing to arrange for anyone to join the S.A.C., but only continues the remittances to Switzer­ land for those who join the Association as well. Life membership of the Association costs £8 8s. for Town members and £4 4s. for Country members. CARDS OF MEMBERSHIP OF THE S.A.C. The Swiss Alpine Club Membership Card (the buff card with the member’s photograph inside) is usually issued every three years, but the Central Committee has 8 decided that the old cards shall continue to be available until further notice, provided the gummed slip for the current year, with the signature of the President of the Central Committee, is affixed to the lower half of the inside cover. It is very necessary for all members to be careful about this. Instead of the coloured cards issued by the various Sections as receipt for the current year’s subscription, membership cards have to be provided with the gummed slip (measuring about 3! x if inches), bearing the date of year of issue. This gummed slip must be affixed to the inside of the card over the previous slip, and members are earnestly requested to stick it in as soon as they receive it. In the past quite a number of members forgot to do so and only noticed the imperfection of their membership card when about to go to Switzerland, and then hastily appealed for assistance to the Hon. Treasurer, who has not always a stock of these receipt slips, seeing that each Section only sends him as many slips as there are members. Loss of Membership Card or Badge.—It is inevitable that someone or other should lose his card or badge, and this is most likely to be discovered at holiday times. If such a loss occur, it is best for the member concerned to write direct to his Section Treasurer, as our own officials are quite likely to be away at such a time, and in any case can only refer the matter to Switzerland. To avoid delay a photograph should be sent at the same time if it be the membership card that has been lost. Members of the Geneva, Diablerets and Interlaken Sections, however, can obtain new membership cards and badges straight away from the Hon. Treasurer’s office. Price for new member­ ship card is 1/3. The price of a new badge is 2/6.

OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE. Dr. N. S. Finzi has been succeeded as President by Mr. Gerald Steel, and Brigadier E. Gueterbock was elected Vice-President in his place. Dr. Finzi was elected an Hon. Vice-President. 9 Mr. George Starkey was elected Hon. Secretary in place of Mr. M. N. Clarke who did not seek re-election. Mr. M. N. Clarke was elected Hon. Editor and Mr. A. G. Schofield was elected Assistant Hon. Treasurer. All the other officers were re-elected. The following members, of the Committee retired, having completed their term of office : Messrs. C. E. O. Bax, J. Eric Jackson, H. St. Y. Longley Cook and F. H. Slingsby. The resulting vacancies were filled by the election of Messrs. J. R. Amphlett (Diablerets), H. N. Fairfield (Monte Rosa), E. A. Ling (Oberhasli), and R. G. Parker (Bernina). Mr. C. G. Markbreiter was elected to fill the .casual vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. A. C. Butler in accordance with the provisions of Rule 9. The remaining members of the Committee were re­ elected. Mr. Victor Umbricht and Mr. Ronald Morrison were re-elected as co-opted members of the Committee, and it was decided not to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Mr. George Starkey as Hon. Secretary.

FINANCE

A comparison of the 1948 Accounts with those of 1947 might lead Members to think that our membership has fallen to a deplorably low level when they consider the item received for Sections of £298 as compared with £918 for 1947. This is accounted for by the fact that in 1948 we were only allowed to collect that part of the S.A.C. subscription which covers the monthly publication Les Alpes, and quite a number of members felt that as they were not likely to go to Switzerland to pay the balance out of their basic allowance it was hardly worth while subscribing for 1948 all the more as the various sections tacitly agreed to retain such members on their list though classified as “ Members on leave.” The Association receipt of £328 13s. 8d., as compared with £279 8s. 5d. for 1947, shows how the Association 10 itself has increased in popularity and all goes well for the year 1949. Fortunately permission has been obtained from the Treasury to collect and remit the whole of the subscrip­ tions for 1949 provided rhey are paid before the expiration of the present currency agreement on March 31, 1949. Members who have not already paid their subscription are urgently requested to do so, if possible, before March 15 th. The Association receipts for the year are £368 4s. nd., as against £328 4s. id. for 1947, but the expenditure has gone up from £233 8s. 6d. to £309 16s. 3d., due to con­ siderable increases in postages, printing and stationery, Library expenses (which include, of course, twelve months’ hire of the room), increased subscription to the British Mountaineering Council and Entertainment. The balance going to the credit of Accumulated Revenue is £62 18s. 4d. We have made no change in our Investments for the year except the transfer of L.N.E. Rly. Debentures to British Transport 3 per cent. Guaranteed Stock. Invest­ ments cost us £1,492 2s. 8d. and their present value is about £1,778. An item that will require consideration during the year is that of Insurance for our books, pictures, etc. At the present time, although a premium is paid on the books on a value of £195, apparently the amount recoverable in the absence of any valuation will be considerably less than £195 and the replacement value considerably higher.

SIR WILLIAM ELLIS’ TRUST FOR GUIDES OF SWISS NATIONALITY

Owing to reduction of income the Trustees could only distribute a total of £129 for the year 1948, and regretfully had to refuse one or two applications for help. They feel that even this reduced amount has been very gratefully received by the beneficiaries, all of whom are in very reduced circumstances. 11 The S.A.C. have a similar Fund and the Trustees are keeping in touch with the Central Committee of the S.A.C. in order to avoid any overlapping that might otherwise occur.

THE HONORARY SECRETARIES. Mr. M. N. Clarke has been succeeded as Hon. Secretary by Mr. George Starkey, and all communications which were formally sent to Mr. Clarke should now be sent to Mr. Starkey. Mr. Starkey’s business address is 15, St. James’s Square, S.W.l.—Telephone : Whitehall 1135. Mr. Crepin’s telephone number is Royal 3834 (business), and his address will be found inside the cover.

THE HONORARY TREASURER. All communications concerning Subscriptions should be sent to the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. C. T. Lehmann, 28, Monument Street, E.C.3.—Tele­ phone : Mansion House 5921. Resignations must be sent in before December 31st, and any member whose subscription remains unpaid on the 31st March following will automatically be struck off the list of members.

SUBSCRIPTIONS. Subscriptions are due on the ist January in each year. A notice will be sent by the Hon. Treasurer of the amount of subscription due for the current year. A Banker’s Order is not desirable in these days of fluctuating ex­ changes and frequent changes in the subscriptions of the different Sections.

THE CLUB ROOM AND LIBRARY. Although we still have no Club Room, the Library is once again available to members.' The Books are now 12 at the premises of Messrs. R. Lehmann & Co., 28, Monu­ ment Street, E.C.3, and members can have access to them on Mondays to Fridays between 10.30 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. on presentation of their S.A.C. Membership Card. Any member who wishes to borrow a book from the Library is requested to enter his name in the book provided for that purpose, and not to keep the book so borrowed for more than one month. The Postal Service will be restored as soon as possible.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR 1949.

Meetings will be held (by kind permission) at the Alpine Club, 74, South Audley Street, W.i., at 6.30 p.m. on the following dates : Wednesday, February 23rd. Wednesday, June 22nd.

v 14 (JMntuarp A. E. W. MASON 1865-1948 A. E. W. Mason, the well-inown novelist, died on November 22, 1948, aged 83. He was a great man. He was the second president of the Association, succeeding Clinton Dent, who died in 1912, and he continued in office till 1922—a period which included the First World War. He joined up though over age and did many secret jobs, so that we saw little of him during the actual war period. He was a man of many activities—mountaineering was only one of them, but he climbed for many years. He was educated at Dulwich and Trinity College, Oxford, where he was President of the Union. For a short time he was on the stage; he was at one time a Conservative Agent, and later Liberal M.P. for Coventry. As a young man he climbed a good deal in the Lakes, and his first novel was appropriately enough A Romance of Wastdale published in 1895, and, as every climber should know, his other mountaineering novel, Running Water, was one of his great successes, and is one of the few good novels based on climbing. He wrote upwards of thirty novels, some of whicn were very famous, and some of them were successfully dramatised. The first and the last were fifty-one years apart. His deep and abiding love of the mountains is shown not merely by the constant references to them in many of his books, but by the following passage from one of his letters written just three years before his death : “ My associations with the Alps and the comrade­ ships I made amongst them are the best of my recol­ lections. I can still sit in an arm-chair and smoke my . way through long, good days from the Trift or the Montanvers or Arolla, or through short days from Rowhead Farm at Wastdale Head.” He was elected an Honorary Member of the Association in 1945 and greatly appreciated the compliment, though his last actual appearance at one of our functions was in 15 November, 1939, when in one of those delightful speeches for which he was so well known he bade farewell in the name of the Association- to the retiring Swiss Minister (Monsieur C. R. Paravicini), whom, in his capacity as President, he had welcomed to London nearly twenty years before. W. M. R. M. N. C. ALFORD ROGERS 1873-1948 “ Write me as one that loves his fellow-men ” might well serve as an epitaph for Alford Rogers, who died on February 25, 1948. He had a great capacity for friendship, and rapidly gained the affection of those he met whether profession­ ally as a doctor-^-he had a large general practice—or in sporting or social circles. As a young man he was no mean player of cricket and tennis, but it was not until reaching the fifties that he developed a love for the Alps, which then superseded all other interests. With the same enthusiasm that he displayed in every activity, he took to the mountains with avidity. He became a member of the Association in 1925 ; he was also a member of the Alpine Club. Many of Rogers’s patients will remember how, with pleasant amusement, they listened to exuberant accounts of his holidays in Switzerland and were led to forget their own sufferings while he,, seemingly oblivious for the moment of signs and symptoms, described his exploits or expatiated on the latest work of Alpine literature he had discovered. His sense of duty, both as a medical man and as a member of the climbing fraternity was markedly displayed when, on the occasion of an accident to another party on Ben Nevis during our Easter meet in 1934, he joined in the rescue work. Although, because feeling unfit, he had refused to climb that day, he was out with the party on icy rocks and snow until 3.30 the next morn­ ing. As his stable-companion at the hotel, I well remem­ ber how exhausted he was on his return. The committee were so much impressed by his conduct—he was 61 years of age at the time—that at their next meeting they passed 16 a formal vote of appreciation which was duly recorded in the minutes of the Association. In the first World War, Dr. Rogers served with the R.A.M.C. in Mesopotamia, and in the second war was untiring in his work for the A.R.P. service. As a Mason he was a loyal member of his Lodges ; he was a Past- Master and Past Provincial Senior Grand Deacon of Essex. The.respect shown for him in his own locality was demonstrated at the funeral service, where some four hundred people assembled outside the crowded Congrega­ tional Church where he had been a deacon. Rogers was for a long while a regular attendant at the ordinary meetings and other functions of the Association. W. J. F. A. G. N. GREEN 1890—1949 A. G. N. Green died at Goring on January 15, 1949, at the comparatively early age of 58. After a brilliant school career he won a scholarship at Christ’s College, Cambridge, where he took honours in science. A schoolmaster by profession, he taught at Perse School, Cambridge ; Heilbron School, Germany ; and Wilson’s Grammar School, Camberwell, where he was Science Master for eleven years. In the first World War he served with the Artists’ Rifles, and, after being partly buried by a shell explosion, was taken prisoner. Later he became an interpreter with the Army of Occupation. In 1933, lie married Miss Edith Shepherd, and settled at Worthing. Shortly after their marriage they founded Langton House School; in 1937 they moved to Goring Hall, of which he was Principal for ten years. Of an unassuming nature, he had great gifts which he used entirely in his school life. During the second World War he taught every subject for the School Certificate and he used to turn out practically every evening with the Goring Home Guard. He had a ready helper in his wife, who made it possible for him to devote all his time to teaching. He will always be remembered for his 17 patience with his pupils, and many promising boys whose families were in financial difficulty received free places at the school. In July, 1947, he retired owing to ill-health, and then, after several months’ rest, he again took over Langton House School, which he and his wife had founded in 1933. In June, 1948, he had to undergo a serious operation, from which he never' fully recovered. He joined the Association in 1925, and he was also a member of the Climbers’ Club. In his younger days he was a very enthusiastic climber, and he visited the Alps regularly every year. Up to the time when he left London he was a regular attendant at all our meetings. Those of us who saw him during his last illness were greatly im­ pressed by his courage and cheerfulness, and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. We desire to tender to Mrs. Green our deepest sympathy in her irreparable loss. M. N. C. R. S. MORRISH 1870—1948 By the death on November 19, 1948, of R. S. Morrish the Association has lost one of its original members. He was a chartered accountant by profession and at a young man he was Secretary of Constable’s, the well- known publishers. He started climbing whilst still a schoolboy, his first visit to the Alps being in 1887, when he was at school in Geneva; his last visit was in 1938. But for the war he would have no doubt vied with the achievements of the late Sir William Ellis. He was a member of the Geneva section of the S.A.C. (as were his brother and his nephew), and he was very proud of being one of their “ veterans.” ' He was a keen and skilful Alpine photographer, and frequently exhibited at the annual exhibitions of the Alpine Club, of which he was a very active member. His other chief interests were archaeology and church architecture in England and France, about whicn he knew a great deal. He took a very active interest in the Association in the earlier days and served more than one term of office on the Committee. He will be sadly missed by his many friends among our older members. M.

THE ANGLO-SWISS SOCIETY

Owing to the change of Ministers and various other reasons, the activities of this Society which was founded on February 24th, 1948, had to be suspended and no general announcement of its existence could be made. The position now is that it can start to function as a live organisation and an inaugural dinner will be held at the Dorchester Hotel on Thursday, February 17th. The President of the Society is the Rt. Hon. Philip Noel Baker, P.C., M.P. The Hon. Patrons are His Excellency the Swiss Minister and the Foreign Minister for the time being, and among the Committee of Patrons are well-known personalities in the Mountaineering world, such as : Group Capt. Viscount Acheson, O.B.E. The Rt. Hon. L. S. Amery, P.C., C.H. The Rt. Hon. Lord Burghley, K.C.M.G. The Lord Chorley, J.P. Dame Katherine Furse, G.B.E., R.R.C. The Hon. Quintin Hogg, M.P. The Rt. Hon. Viscount Templewood, G.C.S.I., G.B.E. and on the Executive Committee of 14 there are no less than 5 of our members, namely : Professor G. R. de Beer, F.R.S. C. T. Lehmann. Ronald Morrison. Gerald Seligman. Lt.-Col. Stuart Townend, O.B.E. The Management of the Society will be entirely in British hands, much in the same way as the management 19 of the Swiss British Society in Zurich is entirely in the hands of the Swiss members. There will be a full exchange of facilities between these two organisations. The Society was founded in February, 1948, when a General Meeting of members agreed the aims and objects and the Rules of the Society. The Society has been founded for the purpose of maintaining and developing the existing friendship between the British and Swiss peoples, to foster a closer unity to the mutual advantage of the two nations, and to promote social and cultural relations between Great Britain and Switzerland. The activities of the Society are entirely cultural and social; they are strictly non-political. It functions by means of Receptions, Luncheons and Dinners in cele­ bration of special occasions, in honour of distinguished guests, and in order to provide regular opportunities for the members to meet. It is proposed also to arrange other activities, such as Exhibitions, Films, Lectures and Dis­ cussions on Art, Literature, Science, Discovery, Travel and Social Life in Switzerland.

THE EASTER MEET

This year the meet was held at the Corrie Hotel, Isle of Arran and was attended by Colonel and Mrs. E. R. Culver- well, Mr. and Mrs. Markbreiter, Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Mears, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Rudge, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Starkey, Dr. N. S. Finzi and Messrs'. M. N. Clarke, F. R. Crepin, R. L. Greg, H. L. Roberts, E. L. Theobald, B. L. Richards, T. W. Baird and P. J. Markbreiter. After a journey, via Glasgow, which had its own vicissitudes, the party arrived at the hotel to receive a warm welcome from Mrs. Mackinnon, the manageress, who, it must be remarked in passing, made continuously successful efforts to make us comfortable. The first three days, during which the weather was conspicuously good, were spent in exploring the ridges and most of the main summits were reached during this period. In the course of the traverse of the A’Chir ridge, one member of the party was observed, in a slightly tight chimney, addressing his stick in an unparliamentary fashion, and another crossed the spectacular gap without realising he had done so. On Easter Saturday, as the weather continued fine, a party of ten decided to visit the crags in the neighbour­ hood of the Rosa pinnacle on Chir Mhor. The local bus was taken to the entrance to Glen Rosa and a pleasant walk enjoyed up the glen to the foot of the pinnacle where lunch was taken. Some discussion as to the climb to be attempted took place and, in view of the fact that none of the party had visited the crags before, it was decided to climb the-Cubit route as this appeared to be one of the easiest. The party divided into four ropes under the leadership of Starkey, Roberts, Rudge and Culverwell and began the ascent in that order. When the first rope had finished it started down for the hotel via Glen Sannox. When 21 about one third of the way down the glen, it was over­ taken by Baird with the sad news that an accident had occurred and that Culverwell was lying unconscious and badly injured at the foot of the top pitch of the climb. It was decided that Starkey should return to the scene of the accident and that the others under the leadership of Greg should go to the hotel in order to organise a rescue party and bring up a stretcher, etc., Fortunately the evening was reasonably warm although a strong wind was blowing and, as the injured man was lying on a ledge partially protected by a rock wall, it was possible to keep him fairly warm by wrapping him in all available clothing and by forming a screen of human bodies close around him. In this connection it is pleasant to be able to record the fine spirit in which men, some of whom were complete strangers, surrendered their coats and scarves and sheltered the injured climber with their then underclad bodies. Shortly after n p.m., Greg arrived with the stretcher and a party of helpers. Unfortunately the stretcher was a primitive affair and the delicate task of placing the patient upon it was very difficult on the confined and awkward ledge. At last it was accomplished and the descent was com­ menced. The rescue party numbered about seventeen and was divided into two teams. The work was, of course, sufficiently arduous, and it was found necessary to change the bearers every six minutes at first. Later this period was reduced to four minutes. Here, Richards was invaluable in organising the changeover. Unfortun­ ately it was not a “ straight ” carry and, until the floor of Glen Sannox was reached, the bearers were forced to pick their way step by step, by the aid of pocket flash lights. The floor of the glen was reached just before dawn and later on, further parties were observed coming up. These ultimately took over the task and conveyed the stretcher to the waiting ambulance. This was reached at about 8.30 a.m. 22 Where all strove so mightily to help a friend it would be invidious to mention individual feats ; each man gave what he best could give, but it is remarkable to remember one tense moment when the stretcher was being carried round a small buttress of rock on steep scree. At the crucial moment in the darkness, three of the bearers lost their footing simultaneously but despite the sudden strain thrown upon them, the remaining bearers did not drop the stretcher. A serious matter indeed and a magnificent effort. Throughout the whole night, in spite of the underlying tragedy, splendid things were happening—the man who continued carrying until he nearly dropped (he was only just recovered from influenza)—the man who sent his chocolate ration for two months to feed the party—the masters from Falkirk High School who with many of the local men turned out to help us quite disregarding their broken holiday and interrupted engagements ; whilst behind all were Mrs. Mackinnon at the hotel and Mr. Gilbert Mackinnon at Sannox quietly, but so efficiently, organising and superintending at that end. Our Association is very conscious of the debt of grati­ tude which is owed to the many men and women who unhesitatingly gave their aid when the call went out. Such is the spirit engendered by the mountains. As may be imagined, the accident virtually brought the activities of the Club to an end. The weather broke, and this, combined with a natural lassitude resulting from noc­ turnal activities, produced a desire to go for motor coach trips rather than to battle with the elements. As the party left Arran, the weather was doing its worst. They crossed the Clyde Estuary in a gale and, but for the thoughtfulness of the President in administering the appropriate remedy on embarkation, practically all would have succumbed. The sea was so rough that it was quite impossible for the boat to make the customary call at Millport, and it had to make two attempts before it managed to berth at Fairlie Pier. The final straw was the collection of tickets there on the swaying boat in the 23 drenching rain, which called forth some scathing com­ ments from one of the Honorary Secretaries. However, in spite of all, Glasgow was reached on time ; and after an - excellent, but not very substantia], dinner at the Central Station Hotel the party dispersed. The unpunctuality of the night train to London—it arrived nearly three hours late—was quite in keeping with all the other incidents of this adventurous meet. G. S. 24

THE ZINAL MEET, 1948. The complete ban on holidays abroad having been lifted in time, the second Summer Meet of the Association was held at the Hotel Diablons, Zinal, from July 21st to August 4th. The ban was lifted—but austerity remained ! We had to cut a dash according to our means, limited to £35. None of our members was reduced to working his passage as a waiter, though the Meet Treasurer had some such nightmare visions in the course of a complicated miscalcu­ lation on guide fees. Here and there, however, an odd nylon rope was suddenly deemed redundant by its owner and acquired Swiss nationality. It had to be vin ordinaire for dinner and not very much of that, though we still had an excuse for enjoying a cafe-kirsch at 1 fc., since the cafe alone cost nearly as much. For some weeks before the start of the Meet the papers had been moaning about the weather—wettest and coldest Swiss summer on record—snow at 3,000 feet—and so on. By all accounts they were not far wrong. Our first glimpse up the Zinal valley, on a brilliantly fine day, showed how different the conditions were from the previous year. The Rothorn and the Besso shone in the splendour of bright new snow, even the lower peaks were mantled in white. That first fine day did not falsely raise our hopes. In spite of several wettings and a few storms we were very lucky. The main party, which laid no claim to being “ tigerish,” did not return defeated from any expedition. Three different huts were visited and five peaks climbed. After a day devoted to a training walk a large party set out for the Aiguilles de la Lex. Owing to a late start, delays in route finding and finally a short, sharp thunder­ storm, although the main summit was reached after considerable snow and a very little rock climbing, the delectable ridge which knife-edged away from us through the mist had reluctantly to be abandoned. The last rope off the peak (or rather the nether part of it) descended the smooth, steep top slab, seat inwards, with only one hold, 25 and that friction, to the accompaniment of the singing of the storm in their axes. This preliminary canter was followed by a sortie in force to the Mountet Hut for two nights. The scene in the hotel dining-room during the provisioning operation seemed reminiscent of the accounts we have read of Himalayan expeditions at Darjeeling. A few Bhotias or Sherpas would have made it still more realistic ; as it was our old friend and sole guide, Franz Biner had now arrived and was going to the hut with us. Presumably at Dar­ jeeling there would have been no lack of tea—at Zinal there was—but lengthy negotiations were cut short by a successful visit to the local shops. Next day, in fine weather, two parties climbed the Besso from the Mountet, one by the “ chemin des dames,” the other by the more difficult south-west ridge. High up on the latter climb, Dr. Healy, who immediately on arrival at the hut had been called to attend a fractured wrist, continued his busman’s holiday with first aid to the scalp of the writer of these notes, hit by a falling stone. Thanks to this professional care he was able to proceed with head bloody but unbowed and complete the traverse of the mountain with the party. Another brilliant day followed and most of the party were able to climb the Pointe de Zinal, by way of the Col. Durand before descending to the hotel in the evening. It is very pleasant to record that on this climb one of the ropes was lead to the summit by the President, Dr. Neville Finzi, who put many a younger member to shame by his energy and enthusiasm throughout the Meet. After a rest period, generous, but not too generous for those of us beginning to feel a little past our prime, another large party set out for the Tracuit Hut with vague ideas of bringing off a quick double in the Bieshorn followed by the Diablons on the same day. The weather was, however, now more unsettled : we got wet, then, dried, going up to the hut. Dawn came with a wet, cling­ ing mist. This soon dispersed and one party started later than planned, for the Bieshorn, the other for the Diablons. On a fine day the view from the 13,600 foot summit of 26 the Bieshorn probably compensates for the drudgery involved in getting there. On a day of swirling, tantalis- ingly, obscuring mists and deep snow, one, at least, of our party affirms that it is as near being a waste of time as any day spent in the mountains can be, even if, like some of us, you draw pictures in the snow going up, and practically insist on one of your fellows putting at least a foot into a crevasse to break the monotony. On the way down the Diablons project was soon abandoned and since the Diablons party, who had made a successful ascent, had no intentions towards the Bieshorn, a quick descent was made to the valley and the August ist festivities which followed next day. By now the Meet was drawing to a close, and since some members were starting back for England early, it was a party of only five which started on the final expedition to the Moiry Hut. George Starkey, our “ oberklettermeister,” was also left behind to our great regret, since a swollen knee, which had been troubling him for some days, made climbing impossible for him. The intention was to go up the Col de la Pigne, climb the Pigne de la Lex, descend to the Moiry Hut in the next valley, and the following morn­ ing traverse the Aiguilles de la Lex and descend to Zinal. A very doubtful morning improved, then the weather got steadily worse and we ascended the snowslopes of the Col in drenching rain and mist. We were only too glad to descend hastily to the hut, giving no more thought to bagging the Pigne en route, where we were able to dry some at least of our soaking clothes. Rather surprisingly, the hut, apart from ourselves, had an almost exclusively female population and we went to sleep lulled by the sweet strains of part-singing from the living-room below. Next morning the weather, though obviously unsettled, was fine and we soon reached the ridge which was our first objective. From there we had a pleasant scramble to the well-defined gap from which the main ridge of the Aiguilles leads to the Col de la Lex. After this the climb­ ing, though still unexacting, was more sensational and the traverse of the narrow, airy ridge was enjoyed by every­ body. The main summit was reached as the mists closed 27 round again and the inevitable thunder started to roll, as it had on our previous visit, but fortunately, the storm passed and the weather cleared again. Honours for the most difficult climb of the Meet go to a free-lance party of two, Curtis and How, who had mean­ while climbed the Rothorn by the Zinah Ridge and who had been turned back below the Arbengrat of the Ober- gabelhorn by bad conditions and lack of time. So much for the climbing. Very little can be said about the Swiss Dinner held on Saturday, Juiy Z4th. No members came over the passes to join us, no members came up the valley, and even the guest of the evening, Dr. Charles de Kalbermatten (President—Monte Rosa Section) whose company we had so much enjoyed last year, was at the last minute prevented from coming. Our party, therefore, dined together much as usual, though in slightly more formal fashion, and, as always, contrived to enjoy themselves. The Meet was again fortunate in having Franz Biner, good guide and good companion, to lead the expeditions. The other ropes were lead by George Starkey, (whose organisation of the climbs was again invaluable) R. L. Greg and G. C. Curtis, to all of whom we are most grateful. The following members and friends were present at the Meet: Dr. N. S. Finzi, Miss M. Finzi, Mr. and Mrs. George Starkey, Mr., and Mrs. C. Devereux, Dr. J. W. Healy, and Messrs. P. Alexander, M. N. Clarke, F. R. Crepin, G. C. Curtis, R. L. Greg, Norman How, R. C. J. Parker and E. L. Theobald. Meets in Switzerland do not appeal to everybody, but there is no doubt that in present conditions they are almost a necessity, not the least of their functions being the train- ing of young and inexperienced climbers who without them would find it very difficult nowadays even to start on their climbing career in the Alps. If these Meets of ours continue to play their small part in helping this work and at the same time strengthen, as they do, the friend­ ships of old and tried climbing companions, there is no doubt of their success, whether at Arolla in 1947, Zinal in 1948 or, as we hope, Maloja in 1949.

THE BRITISH MOUNTAINEERING COUNCIL During the past year the B.M.C. has continued to function as the central organisation of mountaineering clubs in this country in looking after the interests of climbers and disseminating information. The Council has had many complex matters to deal with during the year, and it was fortunate in having the guidance of its new President, Mr. A. S. Piggott, so well known among climbers for his work on the Mountain Rescue Committee. Shortly after the commencement of the year Mr. G. A. Dummett, the Secretary, had to retire owing to the demands of business, and Mr. J. A. Stewart, a member of the A.B.M.S.A.C. and the Rucksack Club, was appointed in his place. During the year there have been two resignations— the Grampian Club and the Cambridge University Mountaineering Club. There have also been a very large number of applications for membership from other clubs. One is almost surprised at the large number of clubs in existence. At a recent meeting Mr. George Starkey, our new Secretary, was co-opted a member of the Committee of the Council. The main activities of the Council during the year have been as follows : National Parks. The Council has continued to interest itself in the pro­ posed National Parks, and has supported protests against any spoliation of these areas. Publications. Climbing in Britain, edited by John Barford and pub­ lished by Penguin Books, has proved very popular and can be recommended to all who have not as yet purchased a copy. 29 Mountaineering, the journal of the is now published quarterly, price 5s. per year. The prime pur­ pose of this publication is to circulate information of interest to climbers. It is now being run at a profit.

Training of Beginners. The Council has co-operated very closely with the Central Council of Physical Recreation, the Ramblers’ Association and the Boy Scouts’ Association in the running of training meets for beginners. During the past year such meets have been held in the Lake District, North Wales and Scotland. On many occasions club huts have been kindly lent for this purpose.

Ordnance Survey Maps. The Ordnance Survey have agreed to consult the B.M.C. on suggestions for improving mountain maps in the interests of hill walkers and climbers. The position of Mountain Rescue Posts is now being indicated on maps.

Central Hut Memorial Fund Appeal. 1 This appeal has now been circulated among the members of most climbing clubs in this country, and it is hoped that every member of the Association will give this appeal his support.

Professional Guides. At the request of the professional guides the Council has fixed a scale of fees for Rock Climbing and Fell Walking engagements.

Financial. Some time ago it became obvious that if the B.M.C. was to continue its work the income would have to be considerably increased. After very great consideration a new scale of subscriptions was drafted and accepted by the consituent clubs, which should provide the necessary income. E. A. L. 30

CLUB NOTES

As was to be expected, 1948 has been a difficult year. The travel ban was lifted in time for the summer, but only to the extent of allowing travellers to take £35 out of the country with them. There is little doubt that this was a contributory cause of the accident on the Matterhorn on July 25, when three Oxford undergraduates—all members of the Association—were killed. Although the party could well have afforded a guide, the allowance of Swiss currency made this quite out of the question during a stay of three weeks. Accordingly the party, two of whom had made the ascent with a guide in 1947, attempted the peak guideless. It is a tragedy that the Currency Regula­ tions, which operate harshly in many cases, should have been a deciding factor in bringing about the death of three such promising young men. The weather in 1948 was as bad as it was good in 1947. Although the lower peaks were climbabl'e, the conditions in the high mountains were both bad and dangerous, and there were numerous accidents. There is very little doubt, however, that several of these accidents would have been avoided if the victims had had sufficient Swiss currency to engage guides. The experience of the Meet at Zinal (a detailed account of which will be found on another page) had shown that these Club Meets are the only way of weathering the economic blizzard which unfortunately shows no signs of abating.

The Association has had another most successful year. It was again possible to arrange a most interesting series of papers, details of which will be found on another page. Once again we should like to express to the Alpine Club our great appreciation of their kindness in allowing us 31 to hold our meetings in such attractive surroundings. In addition to the ordinary meetings a formal Ladies’ Night Dinner was held at the Connaught Rooms on May 26th, at which Dr. C. F. Fothergill showed some superb coloured lantern slides of Alpine Flowers and Scenery ; ninety members and guests were present. The Annual Dinner, of which details are given on another page, was exceptionally well attended. Last but not least, we have had a record number of new members—■ no less than 190 having joined during the past year. Provided that nothing untoward happens in 1949 it is almost certain that the Association will not oxily reach but surpass its highest pre-war total.

We have lost nine members and one honorary member through death during the past year—Mr. A. E. Clarke, Mr. H. G. Courtney, Mr. A. G. N. Green, Mr. A. E. W. Mason, Mr. R. S. Morrish, Dr. Alford Rogers, Dr. G. T. Western, Mr. W. A. Bell, Mr. J. I. C. McKean and Mr. J. W. Ogilvie. The three last-mentioned were all killed on the Matterhorn on July 25. They will be sadly missed by all who knew them. Obituary notice of Mr. A. E. W. Mason, Dr. Alford Rogers, Mr. A. G. N. Green and Mr. R. S. Morrish will be found on another page.

A full report of the Easter Meet will be found on another page. We are happy to say that Colonel Culverwell is at last well on the way to what we all trust will be a complete recovery, and we hope that we shall see him at Maloja in the summer. We were delighted to see him and his wife at our Meeting on January 26. The 1949 Easter Meet will be held at Burnthwaite, Wastdale Head from April 13th to April 20th.

Hi 32 Evening Meetings were held at the Alpine Club in January, February, March, April, June, September and October, and the following papers were read, all of which were illustrated by lantern slides :— January 28th—“ The Rope in Practice ” (Mr. R. P. Mears). February 25 th—“ Problems for Pedants ” (Mr. E. Coddington). March 17th—“ Bregaglia and Bernina” (Mr. J. Hubert Walker). April 28th—“ Norway, 1947” (Mr. J. Eric Jackson). June 23rd—“ The Summer Meet, 1947 ” (Mr. George Starkey and Mr. F. R. Crepin). September 22nd—“ Nothing Very Serious ” (Major W. M. Roberts, O.B.E.). October 27th—“ The Harrison Rocks ” (Mr. R. P. Mears).

We are very much indebted to these members for making these meetings such a success, and in particular to Mr. R. P. Mears who very kindly deputised at short notice for Professor G. R. de Beer on October 27th. The attention of members is drawn to the List of Meetings for 1949 which was issued in December, and is reprinted elsewhere in this report. Members who do not receive their proper copies of “ Les Alpes ” should communicate at once with the Hon. Treasurer.

The Hon. Librarian desires to acknowledge with sincere thanks the gift of two interesting books. One—Neiges Eternelles—is a very original work by one of our Honorary Members, Mr. Egmond D’Arcis, and is presented by the author. The other was presented to us by a prominent member of the Ladies’ Alpine Club, Mrs. Wyndham

* 33 Grieve ; it is the 1934 issue of the Revue Alpine of the Belgian Apline Club, and contains a full list of all the ascents made by the late King Albert. The Hon. Librarian desire to remind members once again that Guide Books and Maps may be' consulted at the Library Room, but must not be taken away. The Library List has now been revised and brought up to date.

The Committee very much regret the delay in the publication of the translation of the Manuel d’Alpinisme. The translation of the text was completed by last April, but other unforeseen difficulties arose. These have now been surmounted, however, and it is expected that the translation will now be available this summer.

We much regret having inadvertently reported the death of one of our original members—Mr. A. Greaves— on page 26 of the 1948 Report. We are delighted to hear that he is still alive, though, as he lives in Yorkshire, we have not seen him for many years.

The Committee have elected two new Honorary Mem­ bers : Abbe Dr. Ignace Marietan of Sion, who (with Canon Veazey) performed the dedication ceremony of the en- larged Britannia Hut in August, 1929 ; and the Hon. Editor (Mr. M. N. Clarke) in recognition of his twenty years’ service as Hon. Secretary.

We should like to congratulate Mr. Lehmann on being elected an Honorary Member of the Diablerets Section.

We should like to take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation of the hospitality which has been ex­ tended to us by our friends of the Ladies’ Alpine Club during the past year, and were very pleased to be able 34 to welcome their President to our Annual Dinner at the Connaught Rooms on November 24th. We need hardly add that if they would care to come to any of our evening meetings we shall be delighted to see them.

The Annual Dinner was held at the Connaught Rooms on Wednesday, Novembfer 24th. The President was in the Chair, and 108 Members and Guests were present. The Guests of the Association were His Excellency the Swiss Minister (Monsieur Henri de Torrente) ; Pro­ fessor G. I. Finch, M.B.E., D.Sc., F.R.S. (representing the Alpine Club); Mrs. Standring, President of the Ladies’ Alpine Club ; Mr. Bryan Donkin, President of the Climbers’ Club ; Mr. J. M. Hartog, President of the Oxford University Mountaineering Club ; Monsieur R. de Cintra, President of the City Swiss Club ; Monsieur A. Engelbert and Monsieur H. O. Ernst. Brigadier E. Gueterbock proposed the toast of “ The Swiss Confederation ” to which the Swiss Minister re­ plied. The President then proposed the toast of “ The Swiss Alpine Club,” and in doing so gave a resume of the activities of the Association during the past year. Then Mr. George Starkey proposed the toast of “ The Guests and Kindred Clubs,” which was responded to by Professor G. I. Finch. After that Mr. F. R. Crepin pro­ posed the toast of “ The President and the President Elect,” which was replied to by Mr. Steel and Dr. Finzi. The latter in his reply reminded members that Mr. Clarke was retiring from the post of Hon. Secretary after 20 years service, and that he was being succeeded by Mr. George Starkey, and proposed the health of the Secretaries and Secretary-Elect. Mr. Clarke and Mr. Starkey replied, and that concluded the proceedings. 35

SUMMER HOLIDAYS, 1949. The Hon. Secretaries will be very glad to hear from any members who wish 'for help in making up parties for the Alps or elsewhere. It is not possible for the Association officials to organise parties, but they are quite prepared to put members in touch with one another when they can, and this has often been done in the past. The monthly dinners for those who can attend them are, of course, an admirable opportunity for making summer arrangements, and if members who are short of climbing companions will acquaint the Secretaries beforehand, something can often be done by way of introductions at one of the dinners. It is desirable that communications on this subject should be sent early, not later than the first half of July, as the Secretaries may themselves be away. It is hoped that beginners in particular will avail themselves of the help of the Association in any matters connected with holiday plans which members are advised to make much earlier than they did before the war; we have often been- able in the past to give advice about guides or districts to en­ quirers and to suggest plans. Circumstances permitting it is proposed to hold the 1949 Meet at Maloja, from July 21st to August 4th, details of which will be announced in due course. The attention of members is drawn to the numerous excursions and climbs which are arranged by all the Sections of the S.A.C., and which afford an opportunity of some extraordinary good climbs at a very moderate cost. Although perhaps it is preferable to climb with one’s own Section, one can always join a climb of another Section—and, further, one can always be assured of a very hearty welcome. For those who want to cut down expenses these Section Climbs should prove invaluable. Further details may be obtained from the Hon. Treasurer. 36

Sunday Walks.—If members are desirous of arranging a training walk at any time, the Hon. Secretaries will always be very glad to put them in touch with others similarly inclined, whenever possible. Such members should communicate with one of the Hon. Secretaries n$>t later than the previous Wednesday. A Club Walk will be arranged on one Sunday a month if there is sufficient demand for it.

INSURANCE AGAINST ACCIDENTS.

The Insurance Contract between the Swiss Alpine Club and the Swiss Insurance Companies is renewed from year to year on the same terms unless notice of termination is given by either side. The sum assured varies according to the sections. With some it is 10,000 francs, with others 8,000 francs, payable at death, or proportionately for permanent disablement. In 1943 the standard premium was raised by one franc in order to cover the cost of the increased liability due to guides now being insured on the same terms as members. The Insurance covers accidents in the Central European Alps, the Jura, Pyrenees, Apennines, Carpathians, Vosges, Black Forest, England, Scotland and Wales, but it does not cover Norway, Himalayas, etc. The terms of the policy of insurance take effect in favour of members “ au moment ils out acquis la qualite de membre.” It is possible that, strictly speaking, this may mean the date when the candidate is actually elected a member. For the convenience of would-be members the Honorary Treasurer issues membership cards at short notice and before the- candidature has been ratified by election at a meeting of the particular section. The Insurance Company has not denied liability in respect of accidents occurring between the date of issue of the membership card and the date of actual election, and it is not expected that they would do so in future. 37 To be on the safe side, however, members should allow sufficient time (normally seven to eight weeks) for their candidature to be ratified by the particular section before proceeding to the Alps. Neither the Association nor the Honorary Treasurer can accept any responsibility should the Insurance Company take the above-mentioned point in any individual case. The benefit of the insurance can now only be paid to wife and children, grandchildren, parents, and brothers or sisters, and the benefits cannot be assigned to, or claimed by, any other parties. Additional policies can be obtained : (a) For payment of 3 francs, to bring up the insurance for death or permanent disablement from 8,000 to 10,000 francs for climbing accidents only. (b) 3 francs to secure the same benefits as above for ski accidents. It should be noted that ski accidents in the first place d'o not cover jumping, or accidents occurring while the insured is taking part in any sporting event, and that the accident must be part of a genuine ski run, i.e. when skis are used as a means of transport in what may be considered a mountaineering expedition. Additional premiums of: 8.20 francs will cover 3 francs daily during temporary disablement, starting from the eighth day and up to one year, but the amount will depend on the degree of disablement and not exceed 3 francs. 9.40 francs will cover medical expenses up to 3 francs per day, limited to 300 francs. 14.60 francs will cover medical expenses and a daily allowance on the above scales. There may be various combinations of the above, or even doubling or trebling of one particular form of insurance. 38 In no case are expenses of a rescue party or transport covered by insurance. - Neither the Association nor individual members can accept any liability for the above brief particulars of insurance. For full terms of the contract of insurance members should also refer to “ Les Alpes.” The exact reference can, if required, be obtained from the Honorary Treasurer. 39 CATALOGUE OF HOOKS, ETC., IN THE LIBRARY.

(b) To collect funds for the building or maintenance of S.A.C. Huts, and for such other purposes as the Committee may from time to time determine. (c) To form a body able to present a collective opinion to the S.A.C. on any question of Alpine interest. (d) To promote among British climbers a spirit of sociability, and in particular to provide a common meeting ground in London or elsewhere. (e) To initiate and co-operate in any movement that may tend to increase the membership of the S.A.C. and of this Associa­ tion. 3. CONSTITUTION. The Association shall consist of (1) Ordinary Members and (2) Honorary Members. Ordinary Members shall be divided into two classes (a) Town and (b) Country. Town Members shall be those who reside within a radius of 50 miles of Charing Cross. Country Members shall be those who reside outside that radius. The qualification for ordinary membership shall be member­ ship of some section of the S.A.C. The election of Ordinary Members shall be absolutely under the control of the Committee. Honorary Members shall be elected by the Committee at their discretion. 4. SUBSCRIPTION. The subscription to the Association shall be £1 per annum for Town Members and 10/- per annum for Country Members, the first subscription to be payable at election and subsequent 58 subscriptions on the 1st January in each year. Any Member whose subscription shall not have been paid on or before the 1st March shall cease to be a Member of the Association, but may be reinstated on payment of arrears at the discretion of the Committee. Any Member joining after the 1st November shall not be required to pay his subscription for the ensuing year. The payment of £8 8s. Od. in the case of Town Members and £4 4s. Od. in the case of Country Members shall constitute Life Membership. For those elected before 1921 it shall be optional whether they pay 5/-, 10/- or £1 subscription, or £2 2s. Od., £4 4s. Od. or £8 8s. Od. for Life Membership. For those elected after 31st December, 1920, but before the 1st of January, 1930, it shall be optional whether they pay 10/- or £1 subscription or £4 4s. Od. or £8 8s. Od. for Life Membership.

5. MEETINGS. (a) An Annual General Meeting and Dinner shall be held in November or December. Other meetings may be held as the Committee think fit. (b) The Committee, on the requisition of twelve members, shall at any time call a Special General Meeting, provided that seven clear days’ notice be given to all Members of such a Special General Meeting, together with full information as to the place, time, and business to be transacted.

6. COMMITTEE. The Management of .the Association shall be vested in a Committee to be elected at the Annual General Meeting and to hold office for one year from the 1st January following. The committee shall Consist of ex-officio members, Ordinary Members, and such extra Members, not exceeding three, as may be co­ opted in the manner hereinafter provided.

The Committee may co-opt not more than three additional Members, one of whom must retire yearly; the mode of election and manner of retirement to rest with the Committee. Five Members shall constitute a quorum. The Committee may suggest names for Officers and Committee, but this is not to be taken as precluding any two Members from nominating candidates, whose consent, however, must be previously obtained. At least three weeks’ notice of the Annual Meeting shall be given to every Member; and nominations for Officers and Committee must be sent in to the Secretaries at least ten days before the Annual Meeting. In the event of more candidates being nominated than there are vacancies the election shall be by ballot.

7, POWERS OF THE COMMITTEE. (а) The Committee may, by a two-thirds majority of those present, remove the name of any Member from the list of Members if they consider his conduct to be incompatible with membership of the Association; but such person shall have the right of appeal to the next Annual or Special General Meeting, which shall have the power of annulling, by a two-thirds majority of those present and voting, the decision of the Committee. (б) The Committee shall have power to submit any proposal affecting the Association to an Annual or Special General Meeting of the Members of the Association. (c) The Committee shall have power to increase the number of Officers by two.

8. ACCOUNTS. The Accounts of the Association shall be audited in January and presented by the Hon. Treasurer at the next General Meeting of the Association, and shall be published with the Annual Report.

9. CASUAL VACANCIES. The Committee shall have power to fill up casual vacancies amongst the Officers or Committee; and those chosen shall serve for the unexpired period of office for which the Members whom they succeed were respectively elected.

The Chairman shall, in case of an equality of votes, have a second or casting vote. 15. RETIRED LIFE MEMBERS. Life Members of the Association who have ceased to be Members of the Swiss Alpine Club may enjoy the privileges of the Association except that they shall not be eligible to fill any office of the Association or to serve on the Committee or to vote at any of the meetings.

TEMPORARY RULES (a) Until the remittance of subscriptions to Switzerland is again permissible, members who find themselves unable to continue their ' membership of the Swiss Alpine Club may still remain members of the Association for the time being on payment of the usual rates of subscription, notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 3, but subject to the provisions of Rule 15. (b) Membership of the Association may be granted even though membership of some section of the Swiss Alpine Club is not obtain­ able owing to currency or other restrictions, on the understanding that this condition will be fulfilled at the earliest possible moment.

In the event of the Treasury granting permission to collect S.A.C. subscriptions, these Temporary Rules will automatically lapse. 61
