+===== Letter To The Editor. =====
+Dear Sir,
 Having been approached by our Walks Secretary to 'fill some gaps' on the walks program, I decided that I would offer some walks for the benefit of our walking club.
 I suggested to our Walks Secretary that he might include, next to my home phone number, "call between 6 pm - 9 pm only", this having been included in all but one of my walks listings.
-During the two weeks prior to the walk where this information was not included, I received several phone enquiries from members at various times of the day, including 6.10 am on a week day, and several after 10.00 pm.
+During the two weeks prior to the walk where this information was __not__ included, I received several phone enquiries from members at various times of the day, including 6.10 am on a week day, and several after 10.00 pm.
 Whilst I don't criticise our Walks Secretary for having inadvertently excluded the contact times from the program, I am rather critical and disappointed that intending walk participants do not use some commonsense and courtesy, when it comes to phoning walks leaders.
 Some leaders, including myself, have young families and do not possess "night owl" traits, as obviously some of our other club members do.
 I ask that intending walks participants show some courtesy to walks leaders and commonsense when it comes to contacting leaders prior to a programmed walk.
 Perhaps some of our members would better appreciate the role of a leader if they would in turn become leaders themselves.

 Would all walks leaders and intending walks leaders ensure that they give to me at their earliest convenience walks to go on the Spring Program so as there is ample time to collate, type and proof read the walks before they go to printing.
-I attend nearly every Wednesday night at the club rooms so as you may write your own walks details onto the program. I will accept walks
-addressed to me via the club postal address GPO Box 4476 Sydney 2001. The number and types of walks depend on people willing to put walks onto the program.

-VOLLEY FOOT
+----
+===== Volley Foot. =====
 by Dr. Mac *
 With the colder weather now on us one of the more unpleasant maladies that afflicts bushwalkers becomes more prevalent. I refer to Volley Foot. This disease affects all forms of bush walking life, that is to say male, female, casual, tiger, day and weekend types of walkers.
 Symptoms: Unpleasant odour from the feet area, an increase in the diameter of the circle of confidence, a desire to increase the distance between the feet and the nose. Secondary signs are damp socks usually accompanied by damp volleys.
 Treatment: Treatment is simple and cure rate about 99%. Copious quantities of soap and water, the later preferably hot. In severe cases removal of the volleys and exchange with fresh dressing. The discarded volleys should he incinerated to prevent re-occurence of the malady.

-" A PRINTING INSTRUCTION DAY will be organised soon for all those aspiring inky devils - watch this space for further details.
-o What you missed No.l. 32 happy people gathered at the Club Rooms to literally wrap-up the May edition of the Sydney Rushwalker, your magazine. It really is quite sociable to sit and chat as you collate, staple, wrap, gum and label each magazine. Next time why don't you come along.
+Morag Ryder now has a home telephone number - 809 4241.
-o What you missed No.2. The bush dance organised by the FBW on 13 May attracted 140 devotees of this form of exercise: a mixture of bush walking, jogging, and tap dancing. The hall was filled with members from 13 walking clubs. The event returned a profit of $500. It is believed the band was "Canbage Spire". A good, hot, sweaty time was had by all.
-o Take note the Federation Ball will be held on 16th Sept. at the Lane Cove Town Hall. This really is a bush dance, dress is casual to very informal and is usually good fun. The various Clubs organise and decorate their tables. Watch this space for further details.
+----
-o Fazeley Read is out of hospital and mending slowly and surely. To set the record straight Fazeley's accident happened when she was on foot and crossing a Pedestrian Ccossing. Maybe a motor bike is safer after all!
-o Sixty odd years ago when SBW was founded a young lad of 9 was living in Drummoyne. Now in 1988 the Club is reasonably well established and the young lad is a mature gentleman of 70. Happy birthday Jim Brown, congratulations on your three score and ten from all at The Sydney Bushwalker and from your many friends in SBW.
+===== Footnotes. =====
-o Congratulations to Sheila Binns our latest Honorary Member, see the report elsewhere in this issue.
-o Barbara Bruce after intensive French lessons has gone off walking to the Marquesas Islands. Can we hope for an evenly tanned Barbara to give domonstration of tradional island dancing complete with grass skirt and smile at the Club Rooms on her return?
+A Printing Instructional Day will be organised soon for all those aspiring inky devils - watch this space for further details.
-o Splendour Rock 1. A commercial pilot flying over Splendour Rock on:Sunday 24th April reported a small bushfire. The Water Board Ranger when contacted by 2-way radio reported that it was just the campfires of the 70 or so bushwalkers camped overnight before the sunrise ceremony.

-o Joy Hynes and Ian Debert returned from holidays in beautiful Victoria with the news that their car had been broken into and their valuables stolen. What does one do with cars left unattended whilst enjoying the bush? Any comments?
