No the DHO dont't worry about levels of intelligence, or appearence (thank god) these days they are just a nice bunch of people to ski with, very handy if you go skiing on your own, with a nice social atmosphere.

The DHO requires that a couple of people propose and second your membership but that is normally automatic these days, it was never as eliteist as some people would have you believe but that image has been perpetuated by the large number of former military officers that have achived positions of importance, this is probably due to their natural organisational ability rather than any other reason.
They let me in as well so they can't be very closed

Didn't someone once say... "Being in the army is like being in the Scouts. Except that the Scouts have adult supervision."

PG, Probably however the observation stands, an awful lot of clubs vanish due to the people who run them being incapable of organising the proverbial drinking session in a brewery, for some reason former military officers, in particular army officers seem to be able to get things organised a little better, my guess that it is essential to be able to organise the squaddies, having seen the damage squaddies are capable of doing without supervision I would guess that they are the ones being refered to in your quote.

Very true! While we're having fun with quotes, George Washington said "An army of asses led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by an ass".
The problem arises when it's asses all round

Back to the topic, I see from the photos here that Natives at least had a delegation (how many snowHeads were present?) ... (and is that Beverley on the bucking bronco???)

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I recognise a few of them! (not the legs on the bronco, though)

Loads more photos on the SCGB site but unlike Natives they didn't caption them. Scroll down for another fine set of pins astride the bronco.

Hi Beverley,
Replying late as have been on hols in Turkey. We had a group of 8 at the Ski Club Ball, and and all of our party enjoyed the evening, and thought that it was well organised. The food although there were small portions was presented well,the staff at Hurlingham although slightly disorganised did a good job. Yes I agree it was expensive but the Hurlingham has great grounds and this I suppose is what you must pay for in part. One hopes that a good proportion of the ticket cost goes to their good cause - disabled skiers I believe?
Being members of the older generation 55-65, we have had heard better dance bands. The disco belted the usual un-dance-able rubbish but I suppose that is what everybody wants nowadays - give me old fashioned rock 'n roll any day.
That said I have to admit all our friends enjoyed the evening.

David, I'm glad you had a good time. I am clearly now known as a fussy woman (  ), but I don't think it helped that 4 on our table thought it was dreadful and one pair left after supper, so I supposed that put me on a downer, as I'd invited them. I do agree the grounds are beautiful though.
On the table next to us we had the actor Sam Kelly, do you remember him for "Ello Ello" / Morse and various others?

I once tested this black tie nonsense at a friend's posh do, where I turned up in a very stylish (at least I thought it was stylish) thin black leather tie and a fairly casual short-sleeved shirt beneath it.
I was not refused admittance. |
The Ski Club is holding a blue boiler suit do in Barnsley. See ya there, comrade.
