-The meeting commenced at 820 p.m0 with the Presidenh, Brian Harvey,in the Chair, and about 30 members present. Apologies were received from Paul Barnes and Heather Joyce. The President extended a welcome to Jim Cuthbertson, a visitor from the ErMane Bushwalkel: and to Ron Knightley who has come back to live in Sydiloy and is looking forward to some walking.
-Jack Gentle said he had been in touch with Ansett Al.rvays. Company wag now prepared to go anywhere and Clubs wo-2e advisod to get together if they wished to take advantage of the dcant offcrc and discuss it with Mr. Brown, one of the Company cfficials.
-. The Federation report raised the question of whether the Feder'&1- tion Reunion should be continued. Frank Ashdown moved a motion to effect that we should instruct our delegates to tell the Federption
-.
-that, because Federation had no policy for controning its members, it was desirable that the reunion be no longer held. He said that, because Federation would not take action, the older members would no longer bring friends or children. Grace Aird said that the reunion was for young bushwalkers who liked to can together. They enjoyed themselves and their behaviour wasn't objectionable to other young
-members. Frank /bung supported this, saying that a lot of younger
-members turned up, If Federation gave it up they would still meet together and camp, and it was better to have the reunion under Federation control. John White thought it was very important that the Clubs gettogether even though there were many of the older members who didn't enjoy the reunions. Jack Wren said the trouble had been
-recurring for some half dozen years. It wasnot alcohol, but the
-way it was consumed that was the trouble. Drinkers who couldn't hold their liquor were a bad influence. As.they could not be con, trolled we would be better off without them. In his reply Frank Ashdown said that it-was not a sound argument that the reunion should be for young members. Once it was well attended by both young and
-old. There was no letting down of tents and beating of tins. We
-should re-unite as walkers, not as larrikins and hooligans. The Motion was lost, but a motion by Jack- Gentle that s#rick instructions should be given to Clubs that liquor should not be abused, and people were expected to behave themselves, was passed. Jean Harvey said that delegates should ask Federation to try to make the Clubs more sociable at reunions. Dave Brown suggested that it was held at the wrong time of the year. If it were held at the end of the walking season, instead of straight after the S.B.W. reunion, many more S.B.Wts, might go. Brian Harvey explained that it was once held thell but clashed with the period of intensive study and examinations for many young walkers. If held later there was a risk of a ban on fires in the open. In April it clashed with Easter mdin winter it was too cold  Jim Brown thought that, nevertheless, the opinions of delegates might now have altered. He moved that the question of the date be reintroduced in Federation. The motion was carriedc,
-Jim Hooper said that the S. and R. exercise in collaboration
-with the Amateur Radio Club was successful, It proved the limitatior, of wireless gear in wet weather. Some of the amateur radio operators had offered to go on searches.
-The next subject of discussion was wether or not to spend 3 On decorations for the Christmas party. Geof Wagg said he was strongly against the proposal; 3 was far too much to spend on
-balloons which went off pop, whenalasting asset like a duralumin ladder could he had for only 5. Jack. Wren thought we should donate
-towards decorations, give Geof Wagg 2 towards the 3adder, and let him decorate the hall. Bob Abernethy pointed out that we could
-nct decorate the hall with a duralumin ladder and the meeting endorse'' this viewpoint.
-Brian Harvey put to the meeting the question of whether shirts
-shOuld be on or off in public places, referring to the old club
-by-law that leaders should be consulted before removing them. Severs:. spoke against such a restriction, the opinion being that people were too used to bare briskets to care any more. It was decided that the removal of male shirts be left to the discretion of the member removing the shirt.

+The meeting commenced at 8.20 p.m. with the President, Brian Harvey, in the Chair, and about 30 members present. Apologies were received from Paul Barnes and Heather Joyce. The President extended a welcome to Jim Cuthbertson, a visitor from the Brisbane Bushwalkeres, and to Ron Knightley who has come back to live in Sydney and is looking forward to some walking.
+Jack Gentle said he had been in touch with Ansett Airways. The Company was now prepared to go anywhere and Clubs were advised to get together if they wished to take advantage of the discount offers and discuss it with Mr. Brown, one of the Company officials.
+The Federation report raised the question of whether the Federation Reunion should be continued. Frank Ashdown moved a motion to effect that we should instruct our delegates to tell the Federation that, because Federation had no policy for controlling its members, it was desirable that the reunion be no longer held. He said that, because Federation would not take action, the older members would no longer bring friends or children. Grace Aird said that the reunion was for young bushwalkers who liked to camp together. They enjoyed themselves and their behaviour wasn't objectionable to other young members.

+The next subject of discussion was whether or not to spend £3 on decorations for the Christmas party. Geof Wagg said he was strongly against the proposal; £3 was far too much to spend on balloons which went off pop, when a lasting asset like a duralumin ladder could he had for only £5. Jack. Wren thought we should donate £1 towards decorations, give Geof Wagg £2 towards the ladder, and let him decorate the hall. Bob Abernethy pointed out that we could not decorate the hall with a duralumin ladder and the meeting endorsed this viewpoint.
+Brian Harvey put to the meeting the question of whether shirts should be on or off in public places, referring to the old club by-law that leaders should be consulted before removing them. Several spoke against such a restriction, the opinion being that people were too used to bare briskets to care any more.

 Alex Colley then moved, and Frank Ashdown seconded, a motion designed to prevent the Committee from giving away Club funds. It was defeated by a wide margin.
-Jack Wren now raised the question of the crashes end bangs which in recent years had accompanied our meetings. They were caused by

+Jack Wren now raised the question of the crashes and bangs which in recent years had accompanied our meetings. They were caused by people sitting on tables not meant to be sat on. It was an irresponsible, childish and moronic practice, and after much repetition became stale. The tables now had metal braces and there was ample seating accommodation. He moved that all members must sit on proper seats towards the front of the meeting or leave the room. Frank Ashdown was in favour of a show of strength by the responsible, grown up and intelligent. Frank Young said that people sat on the tables at the back because they came late and couldn't see over people's heads. The crashes were not intentional. The motion was carried.
