Register meeting 5 July at
21 Hillside Road Aldgate,
host Leigh Ritcher.
Hello Darkness my old Friend
We’ve come to Hillside Road again
Because a Mg’s softly creeping
Dropped its oil while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in the
rain
Still remains
Within the sounds of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Heaps of members maybe more
Members talking without thinking
Members hearing without listening
And the Boss issuing orders that voices
never share
And no one really cared
To disturb the sounds of silence.
I do apologise to Paul Simon and Art
Garfunckle for the plagiarism of their
song , seemed relevant for the theme on
the night- BOTR
Darkness it was and we were not ex-
pecting street lights, kerbs or footpaths
again this year but Leigh went to great
length to illuminate his driveway with a
hurrican lamp strung up in the tree
which was perfectly alright, no one
made it to the neighbours lawn thank
god.
Leigh’s Bar illuminated the cosy ga-
rage , described to me by one as quite
an” intermate” meeting , thanks to Leigh
and the new gas heater that he pur-
chased that day.

Bennett, B Forth, J Davies, J Whiting, P

Many who sent apologies had very rea-
sonable reasons being overseas, how-
ever there were two who had very
questionable excuses for not turning up,
for example: Don Walker-
1. My dog ate my invitation.
2.
3.
A kangaroo was seen on the
Strathalbyn road, I did not want to
hit it.
It clashes with “rearrange my
sock drawer day”
The “ghost who walks” who else would
offer what he says is a humble apol-
ogy?
Terry Wright must be frightened of the
dark, after spending a very pleasant
day with lunch with good mate Willow,
the returned Gipsy, he decides that the
cold is just too much to contemplate
