The total number of Members, excluding the Coggins Section (45), jumped to 811, an increase of 83 over the previous year. The present figure is an all time record. Several Members of the D.H.O. excelled themselves in important races during the season, the outstanding performances being the winning of the British Championship by Nigel Gardner, and the Army and Inter-Services Championships by Charlach Mackintosh. The latter, together with Michael Hankey, were awarded the coveted D.H.O. Gold Badge. It is interesting to note that there are only twelve holders of this Badge in the world and that four of the twelve are members of the Mackintosh family—a truly remarkable performance. But then they are a remarkable family. The Coggins Section, which is under the supervision of at least two senior members of the Committee, goes from strength to strength. Judging by the number of parents who have written praising our system of training and of interesting the young hopefuls, it looks as if this scheme has been the cause of a number of additional people coming to Wengen. Our relationship with Wengen and its most efficient Kurverein have, as always, been most cordial. In no centre in Switzerland is the local British Club given so much willing assistance. Your Committee will continue to do their utmost to serve the interests of Wengen in general and the D.H.O. in particular. A. A. JARVIS.

Page Sixteen JUNIOR TRAINING—Continued immediately upon the British Ladies' Slalom Championship, and—to the evident alarm of some of the Senior Ladies who feared uncharit­ able comparisons—down the same course. In the seniors Sue Holmes became the 1955 British Lady Slalom Champion, followed, at a very safe distance, by two D.H.O. members. Lesley Thompson's performance was nevertheless re­ markable in that she had not been training with the Seniors at all, being in Grindelwald at the time solely by virtue of her office of S.C.G.B. Representative. In the Junior Championships the Ladies ran first so that it was impossible to avoid comparison with the Seniors. As will be seen from the race times printed at the beginning of this article, they did not disgrace themselves. With the exception of Carolyn Doran- Webb, who was dogged by misfortune, the performance of the D.H.O. Juniors was pretty well in keeping with their various merits as revealed throughout the training, although the exceptionally fine second run of Verity Lawrence, with which she wrested the Championship from Sarah Garnett—hot favourite even before she took the lead in the first run—delighted all Wengen hearts and sent us back full of jubilation to our side of the hill. "Training . . . did not pursue the Trainees into the evening."

Vaoe Seventeen BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS UR failing eyesight will no longer cope with O the first-column-on-the-left-as-you-go-in of the Times and so the only birth that we have recorded is one that we were pretty well bound to know about anyway, namely a son (James) to ALICIA RANKIN (nee Foster) on 25th July, 1955, following upon a daughter (Annabelle) born last year. We are equally badly informed about weddings, but we can record that VORA MACK1NTOSCH was married to Richard Shaw-Stewart at Horsham on 11th June, 1955, and ANGELA STORN MOUTH-DARLING to Murray de Klee at St. Margaret's, Westminster, on 6th July, 1955. Our pleasure at hearing of Miss Stornmouth-Darling's marriage was tempered by regret that the Swiss custom of giving the surname first will no longer result in our hearing the name of the next competitor given over the "blower" as "Darling Angela". Finally, we omitted to announce in our last issue the marriage of SAM BRADFORD in the States. To all Honi Soit Qui Mai y Pense! these couples we offer our best wishes. We are indebted to the Swiss magazine Tip for the The Club has lost two old and valued members caption to this picture of Lord Montgomery through the deaths of H. L. C.

Bill Pershke joined the Club in 1930 and was a member of the Committee in 1937, 1938 and 1945/52. He was given the choice of an operation that might have prolonged his life but would have meant living as an invalid or of carrying on as he was for a shortened term of life and, with characteristic courage, he chose the latter course. Both of them will be sadly missed, and we tender our condolences to their wives and families. Members will also regret to hear of the death of A. S. GODFREY, D.H.O. member since 1951. who died in May, 1954, and of FRITZ STEURI of Scheidegg, one-time Swiss Champion and Arlberg- Kandahar winner, who was killed this summer in a climbing accident caused by the collapse of a cornice.

SKI TOURING AND GLACIER SKI-ING Working on the principle of Equality of Opportunity, the Committee have decided that any D.H.O. Member may claim a subsidy towards the cost of Guides etc. for a Glacier Tour provided that he or she has a party of at least five D.H.O. Members and that application for the subsidy is made at the D.H.O. Office at least 12 hours before the trip is due to commence. This concession will be with­ drawn if and when the Club funds set aside for subsidising Ski Touring are exhausted.

TRAINING FOR RACING T has been claimed that the S.C.G.B. system of training and team management is not above Tcriticism (especially as regards the Ladies' Team) whereas the success of D.H.O. training is proved by the fact that D.H.O. trainees won both the British Championship (Men) and the British Army Championship last season, as well as by the number of Gold and Silver Lions awarded to D.H.O. trainees. This encourages the Committee to suggest that the training of Seniors should be left in the hands of the Club and to plan an even more comprehensive Training Scheme. Christopher Mackintosh, Hans Hankey and David Foster have therefore been asked to draw up a scheme for training and management and they have agreed to undertake this task. They hope to meet the Senior Trainees in London this autumn with a view to arranging a complete training scheme scheduled to start in Wengen on 17th December in preparation for the Junior and British Ladies' Championships. Last season we trained over 60 skiers (including Coggins) and as even larger numbers are expected next season the Committee have engaged three fully-qualified Swiss trainers, two full-time and one part-time, to conduct the training. This of course involves heavy expenditure and although we shall—as always—have the support of the ever-helpful Kurverein the Committee feel it necessary to adopt the recommendation of the S.C.G.B. that Affiliated Clubs organising Training Schemes should ask the parents of the trainees to contribute towards the cost of the scheme to the extent of 25fcs. per week for trainees receiving full-day training and 15fcs. for half-day. These are not large sums, and it must be remembered that in many cases trainees receive benefits such as special terms on Railways and Ski Lifts. The training of the COGGINS will be in the hands of senior members of the D.H.O. aided by Swiss guides. The Coggins will be divided into Senior and Junior sections (based on ability and not on age) and their parents will be asked to contribute 15fcs. per week for Seniors and 5fcs. per week for Juniors. Page Twenty FIFTY YEARS OF THE WENGEN SKI CLUB by Dr. Felix Wulkan

Dr. Wulkan attended the celebrations of the Wengen Ski Club's Jubilee on behalf of several Swiss newspapers and he has been good enough to let us have a translation of his article published in the NEUE ZURCHER ZEITUNG. We publish this condensation by kind permission of the Editor of that journal.

GLACIER TOURING, SEASON 1955 Due to unsuitable weather the touring fortnight had to be postponed and subsequently condensed into the first week of March. After a preliminary canter down Eismeer, and Goppenstein, a party of eight skied over the Ober- and Unter-Monchjoch, down the Fiescherwand, across the Eismeer, rejoining the latter via the Kalli Firn above Grindelwald. This was the first time that all but one of the party had made this tour. It was carried out in ideal conditions—the drop of 8,000 ft. providing the best day's ski-ing of the season for many of the members. Two days later eight of us set off for Zermatt via the Ewigschneefeld, Trugberg and the Hut, where we spent the night. Unfortunately a change in the weather prevented us climbing the Wannenhorn (as planned) so we contented ourselves with a superb run down the little- known Fieschergletscher, arriving at Fiesch for lunch. We caught the train for Zermatt and were met by two American members of the D.H.O., Jean and Bob Ayer. Jean had virtually achieved the impossible by finding us rooms in a place already filled to overflowing, while Bob had arranged a magnificent banquet to celebrate our arrival. Next day our hosts, together with their guide, showed us the main soft-snow runs of Zermatt. Alas, still bearing the marks of the previous night's hospitality, the D.H.O. contingent did not exactly sparkle as the snow. On the following day four of the party returned to Wengen while the remainder climbed up to Testa Grigia and skied down to Brieul on the Italian side. After an early start we returned to Zermatt next morning and then home by train. The Club will organise a Glacier Touring Group during the latter half of February and beginning of March 1956. The main idea will be to introduce members to Glacier Touring with easy one-day trips, while not losing sight of the pioneer traditions of the Club in carrying out one or two ski- expeditions off the beaten track. These tours will be subsidised and in addition to the officially organised parties any member of the Club who makes up a private party of not less than five definite starters (who must, of course, all belong to the Club) and a guide, will be eligible to participate in this subsidy provided that at least 12 hours'notice is given to the D.H.O. Office prior to the commencement of the trip. R.E.H.E. Page Twenty-five RACING SEASON 1954-195 5

Just as we go to press we learn, with deep sorrow, of the death on 7th October of Mrs. PAULINE ELIZABETH CLEAVER (nee Hepworth) at an early age after a sudden illness. Mrs. Cleaver, who joined the D.H.O. in 1939, was the daughter of our Hon. Treasurer, Paul Hepworth, and the wife of G. N. (Mouse) Cleaver, who is himself a prominent skier. We are also informed of the death of Major G. F. (George) KILLWICK, who joined the Club in 1936 with his wife, Wendy Killwick. On behalf of the Club we offer condolences to the relatives.
