 The dinner starts at 7 p.m. and goes to midnight in the Crystal Ballroom of the Menzies Holiday Inn Hotel. This is a semi-formal affair so a coat and tie is the order of the evening (plus trousers shirt and shoes) for the men. It would appear that the women can please themselves what they wear, if anything although they may be more comfortable in something "after five". We have a set menu so the onerous decisions of picking your dishes have been done for you. Tickets are $30 each. The dinner starts at 7 p.m. and goes to midnight in the Crystal Ballroom of the Menzies Holiday Inn Hotel.

-Sunday 25 October  + 
-Our back to the future walk to North Era. Years ago the SBW owned land at Era and we were active in preserving Era for all to enjoy its beauty. This walk will be co-led ty two of the younger members of the Club, Dot Butler, and Bill Hall. Exactly how they will lead us has not been made public but should be good fun. The Sub-Committee has been in contact with the Royal National Park to ensure we have a good day and to help with crowd control for the hundreds of SBWs expected. Keep this day free and polish up your badge. If you are less active now and really want to go then transport can be arranged, contact the Sub-Committee. +===Sunday 25 October===

 +__How To See The Blue Mountains__, by Jim Smith; Second Revised Edition, Second Back Row Press Pty Ltd. $9.95. 
 If you haven't already got Jim Smith's First Edition, you may want an authoritative and thorough guide to walks in the most scenic wilderness of excellent walking country close to a major city in the world. Look in your bushwalking shop for the colourful cover of this small format book, brought out in January 1987. If you haven't already got Jim Smith's First Edition, you may want an authoritative and thorough guide to walks in the most scenic wilderness of excellent walking country close to a major city in the world.

 The 193 walks are conveniently classified into The 15 'best' walks; short easy walks, walks with historical interest, and so on. If you thought you knew it all, you'll get more ideas, as Jim himself did from the old-timers, including SBW member Ben Esgate. And if you know you knew very little about the Blue mountains, this book is where to start your exploration. Sally Pope's maps are admirably clear and simple, and a few well chosen photographs have reproduced quite well. The 193 walks are conveniently classified into The 15 'best' walks; short easy walks, walks with historical interest, and so on.

 There are no off-the-track bush bashes or rock climbs described in this book. Indeed, I wonder how much more "bush-bashing" such a well-used area can take. I remember a lovely mossy gully trodden over by the feet of our party into a spot even Jim hadn't been in before; I felt sorry that we had disturbed it. Jim has put it well in his brief section on Ethics - There are no off-the-track bush bashes or rock climbs described in this book.

This makes me feel that I want to touch everything very gently, even with my feet when I walk." "Everything you touch is alive, may one day be part of an animal or plant, or is needed by some living creature.
