 - A. Colley.
-Five new meMbers - Sandra Montague, Sheila Tadman, Peggy Wbolhouse, Bill Rowlands and Ramon U'Brien - Were welcomed at the start of the meeting.
-In correspondence was a copy of a letter sent by the Secretary of Federation to the Fire Prevention Officer-at Katoomba, saying that there was no evidence that bushwarkers were resnonsible for the cutting of fence-wires at Nedlow Gap. The - officer was invited to the S. and R. mekehd at the Colb where he could witnss for himself the "impecoabilitr of ourbehaviour". 2L lettet' was received also-from the Secretary of the Bouddi-Trust, saying that the Trust agreed with the construC:tion of a-fire trail to Mount Bouddi. The Trust also recognised the neb-essity of proving to-the Lards Department that ma/V. people USed and-enjoyed the park. BV-making the park accessible tic. the motorist other important area S" might be gained for the park and it might be less vulnerable to dangers from other sources. The Trust was 'always glad to receive any suggestions and thoughts that conservationists had to offer.

-Heather Joyde than told us that the S.B.W. were among-Federation's most consisteht carrespondenEs. Why couldn't the delegateS pass on our views? There appeared no good reason for writing letters, beyond habit, and it was decided to avoid letter writing where possible. Heather told us of Colin Putt's good work at the S. and R. weekend. Jack Gentle also offered thanks to those Mho helped at the Blue Gum working bee.
-Nilf Hilder reported that despite a rather hot weekend all objectives, except the finding of Barron's Pass, had been achieved on his 6-hour meehand walk. The Timbolina Trig had been burnt down, but on the disc some pencilled names were partly legible. They were the namet of an S.B,W.,party that had visited the trig in 1944 ;. Tom Herbert, Charlie Pryde, Dorothy Lawry, Wal Roots and Phil White. There were - two starters on Roy Cragg's Nattai walk, and 15 on Bob Godfrey's map reading venture down Angoroms Creek. The party had reached the Colo successfully, but didn't attempt the 87R-13e or more trip down to Hungry Way Creek. Jack:Gentle had led a party of 10 along the Cox and up the White Dog track. John White and two prospectives had a good weekend around the Narrow Neck. Peninsula and reported that the climbing tree was still imposition. There were 15 starters on David Ingram's day walk in the Heathcote reserve. The S. & R. weekend on the Colo had been remarkably well organised. It started with introductory talks by Nin Melville and Heather Joyce and covered first aid, wet crossings, safety in canoes, survival in the bush, bush rescue, ground to air communication, caveing and Safety in caves, and aqualung under water Operations. Colin Plitt gave a talk on safety and equipment in the snow and another on cliff rescue work, and Paddy Pallin talked on snow equipment.
+In correspondence was a copy of a letter sent by the Secretary of Federation to the Fire Prevention Officer at Katoomba, saying that there was no evidence that bushwarkers were responsible for the cutting of fence wires at Medlow Gap. The officer was invited to the S. and R. weekend at the Colo where he could witness for himself the "impeccability of our behaviour". A letter was received also from the Secretary of the Bouddi Trust, saying that the Trust agreed with the construction of a fire trail to Mount Bouddi.
