 Our president has initiated a new format for the general meetings; shorter, interesting and user friendly.  Plenty of opportunity to socalise, talk about walks or what-ever, have a cup of cheer, nibble a biscuit or chew someone's ear, (alternatively chew a biscuit and nibble an ear).  You can come to a meeting and enjoy yourself, plan your next walks, catch up on Club friends.  The more people who come along the better it gets; the better it gets the more people come along.  You had better come along.   Our president has initiated a new format for the general meetings; shorter, interesting and user friendly.  Plenty of opportunity to socalise, talk about walks or what-ever, have a cup of cheer, nibble a biscuit or chew someone's ear, (alternatively chew a biscuit and nibble an ear).  You can come to a meeting and enjoy yourself, plan your next walks, catch up on Club friends.  The more people who come along the better it gets; the better it gets the more people come along.  You had better come along.

 Te Rua-o-te-moko, the pit of the tattooing, is the Maori name for Fiordland. The origins of the name are lost but it is possible the Maori equated the glacial gouges that formed the fiords with the marks etched into the Maori face by the tattooer's chisel. It is a name that evokes thoughts of pain and drama.  So writes Barry Brailsford in Greenstone Trails. Te Rua-o-te-moko, the pit of the tattooing, is the Maori name for Fiordland.

-After settling in we walked to the site of a 'tree avalanche': Beech trees have a surface matting root mass and if a combination of high winds and water logged ground causes one to topple, a down slope domino effect can denude an extensive area. The avalanche we visited occurred in 1988 and still there is little regrowth on the stony slope.+After settling in we walked to the site of a 'tree avalanche'. Beech trees have a surface matting root mass and if a combination of high winds and water logged ground causes one to topple, a down slope domino effect can denude an extensive area.

-Instructions for Authors and Contributors.  +**Instructions for Authors and Contributors**.  
  
 All are invited to write for The Sydney Bushwalker: members, prospective members and non- members.  The topics normally should have some bearing on bushwalking in its widest sense; walking in any country of the world, any item of bushwalking gear.  The articles may be long or short, happy or sad, fact or fiction.  If fiction you had better say so because we are a gullible lot.   Sometimes topics are suggested in the magazine.  If you want to follow up on such a suggestion, ring me and say so.  It would not do to have 50 or 100 people all writing about the territory making habits of the wombat.   All are invited to write for The Sydney Bushwalker: members, prospective members and non- members.  The topics normally should have some bearing on bushwalking in its widest sense; walking in any country of the world, any item of bushwalking gear.  The articles may be long or short, happy or sad, fact or fiction.  If fiction you had better say so because we are a gullible lot.   Sometimes topics are suggested in the magazine.  If you want to follow up on such a suggestion, ring me and say so.  It would not do to have 50 or 100 people all writing about the territory making habits of the wombat.  
  
-DEADLINES FOR COPY.   Generally the deadlines for articles in the first Wednesday of each month.  For short notes the deadline is the second Wednesday of each month.  Sometimes these deadlines are early, as when the editor goes on holiday or the printers have their annual picnic or when Christmas comes along.  Other than when Christmas is on, you don't know when an early deadlines will happen so all you can do is write early.  +**DEADLINES FOR COPY**.   Generally the deadlines for articles in the first Wednesday of each month.  For short notes the deadline is the second Wednesday of each month.  Sometimes these deadlines are early, as when the editor goes on holiday or the printers have their annual picnic or when Christmas comes along.  Other than when Christmas is on, you don't know when an early deadlines will happen so all you can do is write early.  
  
 FORMAT. Each magazine, on average, takes the equivalent of one day walk to prepare.  That a lot of time when I could be watching TV or reading or even bushwalking.  To make the job easier send you contributions, long or short, on a 3.5 inch floppy disk, directly to the Editor: 5/2 Hardie St., Neutral Bay 2089.  The disk need only to be wrapped in a sheet of paper, put in an ordinary envelope with a 45 cent stamp on it and, hey presto, I get it and as quick as a flash, you're in print.  I know some of you don't have access to a computer to write on, that OK, but a delay in publishing may result.  If your disk was written on a Mac, say so on the disk and I'll get it translated into PC.  You can also send copy to me on the Internet at: mrjames@ibm.net.   FORMAT.
