 **Winter Solstice Feast - June 21st**
 June 21st was the coldest June day in Sydney for 100 years, but that didn't deter approximately 50 members arriving at the clubroom rugged up against the chill and laden with goodies of every description.
-We tarted up the clubroom with red and green streamers and table cloths, carefully stuck together by many eager bands, while Angelika supervised the chopping of vast quantities of lemons and the de-caskivag of red wine for the hot Gluhwein. Prospectives and members ducked and weaved ,through the kitchen at the same time, bringing in their feast offerings while the resident caretaker replaced light bulbs from atop his ladder - chaos reigned supreme!

 By the end of the night 20 litre of Gluhwein had vanished, as had the huge amount of food.. Thanks to all the helpers and participators and especially to Angelika for her very popular beverage. Lots of people asked for the recipe on the night so here it is.

 Don Rosenfeldt planned to present a video made in the Bartle Frere rainforest wilderness on the
-night, but in spite of bringing all his own gear along, and having presented it twice that week, the video refused to run. It was disappointing for all of us, but tire information was interesting and luckily John Hogan, having just returned from the trip he won to the Kakadu, had brought along his slides hot off the press. Don's slides covered many other Eco destinations, and as a result we were treated to slides from virtually all around Australia, including some excellent rainforest slides John had taken during our wonderful Easter Washpool trip. Thanks to Don and John.... maybe we'll make another time to see that video? UPCOMING EVENTS

-Don't Compromise Safety

 by Nan Bourke.
 I am concerned that the article in the June Sydney Bushwalker,- "Lighten your 'Pack (and enjoy walking)" is not qualified in any way, implying that this basic list of equipment is suitable for all seasons and in all areas.
-While agreeing: that the lightest possible pack makes for more enjoyable walking, I think it is unwise to carry this to such lengths as to compromise safety., I have been snowed on during a day walk on Mt Torbreck, not far from Melbourne, early in December and was ,very cold -because I had no long trousers and inadequate footwear. I also spent three -days of wind, fog and pouring rain in SW Tasmania one January when in spite of parkas and over trousers we were wet through and would have been very uncomfortable indeed if we had not been carrying spare dry clothes to change into at the end of the day. (We had to put our wet things on again each morning)
