EPITORIAM

Jditorial Policy Ul editors expect at some time or another to be confronted by some wild-eyed fanatic with pebble-lens pectacles and an unpressed suit. With sinking heart the editor realises he is about to be asked if he has a >olicy. Classicists among you will know that in Latin such an enquiry was prefaced with the enclytic num' roughly translated as 'surely not' and expecting an answer in the negative. What with the punch- vord coming at the front and the verb at the end this probably inspired breathlessness in the Latin peaker and a feeling of doom in the listener. have thought constantly about my policy if only to have some snappy answer ready to satisfy my nterlocutor. However, there is comfort to be drawn from the fact that policy is imposed from above, in iur case from our President and that in my short reign as editor I have been blessed by two presidents, Iheila Hensman and John Waghorn who have left me free to get the Journal out in my own way. lo if I were to be backed into a corner and quizzed about my policy I would select from a constantly leaving rag-bag of motives and say that it was to inform, to amuse, to thank our friends in Wengen and to et the whole lot out by the first week in November.

Roughs and Sneezes 've been wanting to find an opportunity to mention in these pages the tremendously helpful and heerful service by our Wengen chemist, Messerli et Cie up near the Palace Hotel. Now at last it can all e told. Several of us arrived with coughs or colds that were worsened by the altitude. Without wishing 1 any way to advertise or to attempt to abrogate to ourselves the pharmacist's skills, I feel I should pass n to you that what seemed an almost certain cure for all who tried it, was dispensed at Messerli's. It was ailed Theraflu and only cost S Frs 4 a packet.

JILa£ B R U A F S K I IH R S %ODO ^hen I was a subaltern there was a distant and misty Department of the War Office, now more iashionably the Ministry of Defence (Army), known to us only by the initials AODO, an acronym that stood, if my imperfect sense of recall does not fail me, for the Army Officers Documents Office. The function of the Department was not at all clear but the received wisdom of the time was that it knew the whereabouts of every commissioned officer in what were known in the late forties as His Majesty's Land Forces. Perhaps AODO were over-manned, probably they were sympathetic, certainly they were not :omputerised but above all, in December they carefully and competently re-directed our Christmas cards :o those of our friends who had passed out of the ambit of our address books but who were still serving His Majesty in foreign parts. Recently there have been signs amongst our own membership that the Editor is thought to occupy a Dosition analagous to AODO, or should it be AODHO. Before the condition becomes pandemic I should warn you that it is the Membership Secretary, Mrs Madeliene Marx, who does her best to keep track of he more nomadic of you and that Christmas cards launched optimistically C/O The Editor are unlikely :o be in the hands of recipients much before Twelfth Night.

Page nine RACING AND TRAINING SEASON 1983—1984

By John Latimer It will be recalled that the shades of night were falling fast as through an Alpine village passed a you who bore through snow and ice a banner with a strange device. We can beat that. Last Christmas E' there were over a hundred Coggins and Trainees bearing DHO badges up and down the Dorfstrasse, < at least there would have been if they had all bought one. This is a record. Actually there was plenty of ice but not much snow. But in spite of the difficult conditions, or possib because of them, the training was very successful. Unfortunately the racing in Wengen had to 1 confined to one race, for DHO only, but we made two visits to Murren to race against the Kandahar wii very creditable results. These included four firsts out of a possible six, on both days. We had to make our way to a new destination for the British Junior Championships this year, Valloire : Savoie. There were forty-seven in our contingent and we had booked most of them in the Hotel de Poste with which we had had a somewhat unconvincing correspondence. We were somewhat anxiou We thought we would probably get enough to eat, but not at all sure about beds. What a pleasai surprise! We discovered, of course, that Madame the proprietress is always much too busy to bother wh letters but made us all very comfortable, fed us to our great satisfaction, and kept the children in ordi with verve and aplomb. Our results in the Championshps are listed below and speak for themselves. This is the third ye; running in which we have achieved a Best Club award. Valloire Championships 1984 Jan 2nd to 6th.

As the timetable by train was fiendishly unsuitable the DHO party travelled back to London by coach Most of us rather enjoyed the change, especially the food on the Sally Line from Dunkirk to Ramsgate but having recently taken a vote it seems that the majority of members still prefer the train when possibl and on the whole I am sure they are right.

There was wonderful snow and everbody enjoyed themselves. This last is most important and was not to be attributed only to the good snow but perhaps even more to the good spirits, or spirit, of the trainees. 'Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. We're sorry to keep you as I'm sure you're absolutely desperate to get out, but we're certain you won't regret staying. On behalf of the DHO trainees staying in Wengen, Belinda, Mary, Jane and I would like to present a few prizes. The first prize goes to Ingiepops. This highest accolade goes to her for having lost the most weight and also for having eaten the most apples this holiday, and for showing us how to clash luminous pink lipstick wth her blue and red event ski suit. A bonus prize goes to her as well for teaching us the difference between little boys and little girls. The second prize goes to Kjell. This prize goes to 'Esso' for taking a photo of Edward Goodacre doing his imitation of an abominable snowman on a slope covered with deep powder. Dur third prize goes to Evelyn for looking after us so welL and also for trying very hard to keep the :rainees out of the bar, and for sending us all to bed straight after dinner. 3ur runners up prize goes to Rozzi for being the most impatient with a twit called Christian. He told her :o use purple pink spotted wax. This prize also goes to her for producing Santa, the hairiest little racer in :he world. 1st Prize 3 Shined apples on a plate with a knife and fork. A large chocolate rabbit. A biro with three adies clothed in swimming costumes and when turned upside down the costumes come off. Three more equally suitable prizes. Thanks must go to all the trainees for donating money towards the presents'. '. trust that the above quoted final speech at the Easter prize-giving delivered by Miss Sasha Orr will be ;elf explanatory. Finally, what pleased us all at Easter is that there were some very promising youngsters, though they lave a year or two to go before they make our mark in the Championships.

Visiting Ballenberg

The Summer Weekend benefitted from a spell of beautiful weather, so that the outdoor activities could be enjoyed to the full. On Saturday 27th August, the DHO party broke new ground by walking from Grutschalp to . The path ran through beautiful woods and fine views were obtained of both the Lauterbrunnen and Lutschental valleys. After enjoying an open-air lunch at the Hotel, we travelled by the baby cable car (ably worked by the Postmistress) to the Summer Meadows and, after a short stroll, reached a vantage point from which magnificent views were obtained of Interlaken and Lake Thun. On Sunday, through the kindness of Herr Doctor and Frau Hirni and the Railways, the party enjoyed a splendid trip to Ballenberg Open- Air Musuem. We travelled from Interlaken to Brienz by paddle steamer and, during the voyage, enjoyed a delicious lunch arranged by our generous hosts. Then, by bus to the Museum which covers a large area and displays rural houses from the various cantons. They are equipped with appropriate furnishings and effects and their barns and workshops contain examples of early agricultural tools and machinery. This memorable excursion ended with an enjoyable tea party in our hosts' garden. A Halt at Isenfluh

Page fourteen The Annual General Meeting PRESIDENT'S REPORT

'Until the middle of January we had very little snow and after that we had so much that we could hardly ski with enjoyment and racing was out of the question. It also brought down many avalanches .... and Scheidegg was cut off for many days.' So wrote the President of the DHO in March 1931, but I could almost report the same conditions for the Club's 58th season. However, racing was fortunately by no means out of the question, Scheidegg was only cut off for a day or two and the Club has enjoyed a very successful 58th Year, in all sections. There was a record number of 62 Trainees over Christmas, of whom 47 went to Valloire for the Junior Championships where we again achieved very good results, including the Boy Champion in the Juniors and Girl Champion in the Children I Category. The Easter Training was also very successful with 30 Trainees, excellent snow conditions and some very promising youngsters. I was fortunate in being in Wengen for part of the Easter Training and was most impressed by the enthusiastic spirit of co-operation between the Trainers, the Trainees, those parents who were also helping and the organisers such as Davina Galica and Ingie Christopherson. This is of ;ourse the spirit which Ros Hepworth built up and which John and Bridget Latimer have continued so successfully. Mark and Michelle Currie again ran the Coggins with their own delightful blend of serious ledication and sense of fun; anyone who happened to see two groups of Coggins engaged in a running Dattle of Cowboys and Indians, with snow missiles flying, as they took the Bumps straight, will know what I mean. Piste maintenance in the Wengen district is now of a very high standard and the new Wixi/Falboden ;hair lift has largely cured the congestion at the bottom of Wixi. A total of 100 new members joined the Club last season. The Touring Section enjoyed a good fortnight with many members taking part. The Spring Tour — 'ram the 28th April to 5th May — was supported by eleven members and was enjoyed in spite of mfavourable weather conditions. John Webster reports that DHO Touring, in general, is flourishing md is now attracting a greater proportion of younger members, with a dramatic drop in the average age. 7or the third year, an extremely enjoyable Summer visit at the end of August included a walk from jrutschalp to Isenfluh and a trip on the paddle steamer down Lake Brienz to see the Swiss National "oik Museum at Ballenberg, which was kindly arranged by Dr Hirni of Railways, vhose family then invited the whole party to a much appreciated tea on the lawn of his lakeside garden. This year the DHO Summer visit will again be at the end of August and further details will be available rom Piers Benson Browning. t has been said that traditions should be supportive but not stultifying and with this firmly in mind, 'our Committee have decided that this year's Annual Dinner and Dance will not be at the Savoy Hotel. nstead, we have persuaded Tom Walduck to arrange for us to hold it at the Royal National Hotel. We re confident that this change of venue will appeal to a wider sector of our members than the loyal few vho have supported this function in recent years. We have also changed the day and date and we look brward to a record attendance on Saturday the 20th October. Those who attended any of the cocktail parties last season, will I hope remember Piers' Commercial keaks, when he announced that the 7th February 1985 will be the Club's 60th Anniversary. While it is ccepted that this does not rate the same treatment as did our 50th, it is nevertheless a good excuse for a larty and we are therefore planning a 60th Celebration Week from the 2nd to the 9th February. During his time there will be a Dinner Dance and other festivities including a race in period dress. A detailed irogramme will be sent out in August and will be further announced in the Journal. n this report I have only mentioned by name a few of our Officers and I hope that the others will forgive le if I say a joint thank you to all those hard working people without whose dedication our Club would .ot exist. lowever, I would particularly like to thank Di Gamble, not just for her tireless efficiency as our Hon. :ecretary, but for her continuous and not always unsuccessful efforts to keep your President in order. "hese meetings, as this meeting this evening, have for many years been held in this Hotel and we are ery grateful to the Walduck family for their kindness and hospitality to the Club.

Page fifteen Pig Sticking Memsahib By Pam Beamamd

I have been teased for many years now about my old hat — which happens to be my lucky hat. One day this February we were belting down the wood path to Wengen when, ahead of me a woman fell and her hat came off, purely by instinct I caught it up between my sticks and dropped it by her hand as I passed. There were cries of applause from behind and a Swiss skier nearly said 'That was good!' I replied 'Oh! Its the pig sticking in India you know', as a joke but as our Continental friends are not really au fait with British humour this was taken seriously so, now I'm not only that weird Englishwoman who has worn the same hat for 15 years but the pigsticking Memsahib from the days of the Raj. Oh well! Pig-sticking Memsahib

The Beich pass was out. A change of plans. First, back to bed for an hour or so to see if it would clear. A bit idle, but in fact it did. Not much choice but to ski down the Lotchental Valley to Blatten. Disappointing in its way but, as it turned out, a glorious run. Powder a good long way down and spring snow below. A clear sky now.

WENGEN SEASON 1983/4 By Piers Benson Browning Many well known resorts in the Northern Alps were affected by the lack of snow over the Christmas period, and Wengen was no exception though we had better conditions than many others. Snow came before Christmas and went about the same time — with the largest party of DHO trainees arriving on the 17th December (55 at our peak). This posed quite a problem as some of the pistes were closed. The training was very good in spite of this, and our results in the British Junior Championships were very good. Over this period it was possible to ski to Wengen, but without 'perfect control' one's skiing suffered, with anything less than 'perfect control' you suffered as well. The Coggins had good skiing and a lot of fun, ending with a race on the Lauberhorn and a Fancy Dress Party in the old 'Belvedere' Discotheque, both of which the grown-ups enjoyed — let alone the children. During the early part of the New Year conditions became very difficult with a lot of ice, however the usual amount of hard work was put into the making of the Lauberhorn race track. We were fortunate in having the race at all, as the snow decided to start that weekend. Then followed very good skiing conditions for the rest of the season, with some good long periods of sunshine and very cold up until the end of March. All this made, for most of the time, beautiful skiing conditions. We had the usual races for members, the MacMillan Cup being the most contested, though the day itself was dull and misty with new snow which almost had the race postponed, but I decided to run it in two groups which worked very well and maybe the norm in future years. The Railway Cup, delayed because of too much snow, was the usual great success due to the hard work of Freddie Fuchs, and the generosity of Dr Roland Hirni of the railways. Later in the season we had some good day tours, which are growing more popular every year. I always encourage people to go off-piste if at all possible and this year many did so. The good news and the bad news in this respect is the new Fallboden Chair lift from Wixi which has opened up a whole lot of off- piste to a lot more people. The Middle Ridge piste became the whole hillside and by the end of the season Oh God itself was a vast mogel slope but certainly the days of queuing for the Wixi Chair lift are over. Wengen as a resort had a slight drop in the number of tourists, but the British element held up very well and the Club had over a hundred new members, added to this were some old members visiting Wengen again for the first time in many years. My thanks again to all the people of Wengen who always give us such a warm welcome. Resorts change, but the traditional welcome to British visitors in the Oberland never changes. Next season will be our 50th and to celebrate we are planning a big Dinner on the 7th February and a few fun events around this :ime, so do make an effort to come. I look forward to seeing you in Wengen for another season in 1985.
