- | Many of the newer members of the club must be puzzled at tines by the amount of discussion that this subject can arouse.

Firstly, if the area was in a primitive state would it be as much use to the club or to the general population as it is now? If all the shacks on the area were removed, very little extra camping space would be gained because they are built on the hills. With no shacks there the Lifesaving bodies would be non-existant, and surfing would be vastly more risky than it is now, and people would be deterred from entering the area for one day hikes". In addition the number of bushwalkers using the area now is ,rery small. In fact for more than half the year none go there at all. It is as well to note that quite a number of people'who own shacks use this area for weekend recreation all the year round, and I submit have an equal right to enjoy this area with any walker, because, after all, before the land was resumed they paid for the privilege, whereas campers went free. | + | There has been a great deal of argument in the club over the last few years on the Subject of Era and without wishing to unduly revive that old chestnut, I would like to make some comments on this Club's and others attitude towards that area. |
