The yardleyarts club is Dformed in the hope That it will become a Emlong standing fellowship of men and Bmwomen, who, through mutual Cencouragement and individual effort will Dstimulate all who have a desire to develop their Cappreciation and creation of the visual Darts.

It is our aim to Gextend an open invitiation to Dall who respond to the beauty of Clife to join us in Dcreating a pictorial record.

GSunday 10th of july dawned bright and Dclear as members gathered to board the Emcoach for the annual outing. GArriving at ludlow the club members settled down to Clunch and then to sketching the Dcastle and town. CArtists were to be seen in various Dattitudes, some drawing Gbuildings, others sketching the Dartists. Mr rowley was to be Cseen propped in doorways, Gsitting on kerbstones, or Cdraping himself langourously on Dpeople's doorsteps.

NARRATED *********
At G7 o'clock in the evening it was decided Dby certain members that the return Emjourney should be via tenbury and the Bm100 house where, Cnaturally, it was intended a stop should be Dmade. Once there the more Emdegenerate members Drevelled in the spectacle of the secretary, well Gknown for her temperate habits, enDdeavouring to down the contents of a Empint tankard, others were Daccepting their pints with such alacrity that Ceventually it proved Dnecessary to extricate their owners from Cbeyond the swing doors on the Dpretext of a group Amphotograph. As we Gcontinued towards Ddroitwich mr vic andrews Emgave us a solo, apparantly, Ghe alone knew the words, Cand the bus microphone was employed to good effect by mr Dsam bailey, who gave a Cfine rendition of "suzhanna's a funicle Dman". We have Goften heard this being sung but now we have Dseen it we realise why it Calways makes people Dlaugh.

Our Gdriver, somewhat mellowed by our stop Dthen took over the microphone and Emdespite notices which stated that it was Bmnot to be used when the bus was in Cmotion, gave us an excellent Dimitation of bing crosby, Cmeanwhile driving with one Dhand. A further attempt was made to Gstop and have another, but mr Drowley steadfastly Crefused. Mr newman was last seen Dstaggering along station road with a Cnightwatchman's lamp held on Dhigh, but those at the back of the bus reported that he Emdid return it before Dsetting off homeward with an unusually Gjaunty step. DAs we walked home we Emthought what a good Gday it had been, and hoped we Cshould have another such in the very Dnear future!

It's the journey, Cisn't it? That's why we're Ghere It's the where we Cgo in the time we've got It's the course we Gsteer
-------------------------- VERSE 2 ********
It's the journey, Cisn't it? The joy we Gmake The dream we Cchase, the hope we hold The chance we Dtake On the jourGney
-------------------------- VERSE 3 ********
If it's the journey, Cisn't it? The words we Gsay The things we Cdo to clear a path To make our Gway
-------------------------- VERSE 4 ********
It's the journey, Cisn't it? The way we Gtry The way we Cwin, the way we lose The reason Dwhy Is the jourGney
---------------------- CHORUS *******
And it's Cso hardD to make it aGlone It's desert Csand, it's stormy Dseas, it's broken Gstone So, when you Ccame to Dme to walk aGlong You made the stone a Cgarden, made the sea a Dsong For the jourGney

And it's Cso hardD to make it aGlone It's desert Csand, it's stormy Dseas, it's broken Gstone So, when you Ccame to Dme to walk aGlong You made the stone a Cgarden, made the sea a Dsong For the jourGney
