 The notice said it would be an Extraordinary Meeting, and in fact it was, because even the most garrulous withheld other chatter to allow the maximum time to be given to discussion of the Bandethera project. So soon as the meeting was opened the President gave due notice that a suspension of standing orders would be sought before normal "general business" was dealt with. The notice said it would be an Extraordinary Meeting, and in fact it was, because even the most garrulous withheld other chatter to allow the maximum time to be given to discussion of the Bandethera project.

 Ron Knightley proposed that donations to the Bendethera fund be accepted only "unconditionally". No outside body or individual should be able to sway the control vested in the Club. This principle was also accepted, and, the hour being advanced, the General Business was confined to election of Room Stewards and the customary announcements and that was it at 10.20 p m. Ron Knightley proposed that donations to the Bendethera fund be accepted only "unconditionally".

 Most of Don's lunch time was spent on top of a pinnacle for the benefit of the photographers, Poor Don, I'll bet he won't volunteer for that anymore. The climb up to the lookdown wasn't the best either. Most of us had to stop every 10 yards or so. But despite all the compaints, grumbles and groans, it was a mighty trip and I'll be in it again. Most of Don's lunch time was spent on top of a pinnacle for the benefit of the photographers, Poor Don, I'll bet he won't volunteer for that anymore.

 Doubt very much if anyone in a walking club does any more walking, Should I say ambling-around, with a pack on his back each week than I do. An still as keen as ever on the great outdoors and spend a lot of time.with pack on my back birdwatching. Still surf daily, winter and summer. Climb all the hills around this wonderful part of the world, Naturally, know it, for miles around, far better than the locals and am frequently called on to give information. My bird watching often starts at 4 a m. Creep silently out of the Tropicana Flats without disturbing a soul. Dates with my favourite girl friend. Dawn. Lovely early morning meals of farm fresh eggs,: honey, billy tea etc, in the most pleasant surroundings. Sure I enjoy every minute of the long days that are all too short. Doubt very much if anyone in a walking club does any more walking, Should I say ambling-around, with a pack on his back each week than I do.

-The promised National Parks Bill has not been introduced to Parliament this year; many bushwalkers self consciously feel that only a minority are interested in this topic. This is not so. Conservation has a broad base of support. Australian political parties have spontaneously adopted resolutions calling for the establishment of more National Parks; the U.S. Congress has recently passed a sweeping primitive areas Bill. With a little more effort ,the tide could be turned. The Sydney Bushwalker joins with the National Parks Association in urging its readers to write to their member of parliament asking for an early introduction of the National Parks Bill. +The promised National Parks Bill has not been introduced to Parliament this year; many bushwalkers self consciously feel that only a minority are interested in this topic.

 The S.B.W. Christmas party was a social success but not a financial success. The excess of expenditure over receipts was in the vicinity of 13. The Social Secretary was disappointed that more people did not attend. Altogether forty nine enjoyed the festivities, a very poor number considering the membership of the club. Members will need to consider if the Christmas Party is to continue as an annual event. Suggestions will be welcome particularly those which may help in the reduction in the price of the tickets. The S.B.W. Christmas party was a social success but not a financial success.
