+Minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. Then came correspondence. A letter, on which half the Club were waiting to air their views, was read from Mr. Cameron, leader of the Search and Rescue Section of Federation, pointing out possible dangers which could arise on long "marathon" walks, such as Brian Anderson's scheduled walk this month from Katoomba to Bowral. The letter listed a number of points which should be borne in mind if the walk was to be conducted safely and successfully. There was a bit of debate as to whether Mr. Cameron was acting within his rights in sending us such a letter, but the majority agreed with Malcolm when he pointed out that it was a good thing to have such a conscientious leader of Search and Rescue. It was his job to look for people who get lost, and he was perfectly in order in pointing out likely difficulties; prevention was better than cure. The President read out the letter he had sent in reply. He said that "marathon" was an incorrect and misleading term to use as there was no element of racing involved. It was merely to be a long walk, and all precautions of parties keeping together in small groups, not walking difficult stretches in the dark, and organising transport out from points along the route, had been attended to. As Jim's letter had already been posted, further discussion by the Meeting was rather pointless, although it did allow a number of people to get a lot off their chests.
