 On August 17 we have an unusual event, an Auction. The idea is to bring ANYTHING along to go under the Auctioneer's hammer. It doesn't have to be just bushwalking gear although this will be most welcome.
 Of course we want plenty of bidders, too, so roll up, there will probably be some bargains going.
