Mr. Walker asked why the Government was willing to hand over the land to be used by the Clutha concern.

The Minister for Mines, Mr. Fife, who spoke next, was given a rowdy reception until the Chairman appealed to the meeting to give him a better hearing. Mr. Fife agreed that in a democracy people have the right to question the decision of the Government and to protest. Ho claimed that the need for additional coal loading facilities to service coal fields had become more acute. The export of coal was of great importance to N.S.W., the total demand in 1970-1 being expected to reach 35-million tons. Connected with this was the aspect of employment - there were at present about 14,000 people in the industry, and their continued employment was dependent on the growth of the mining. | The Minister for Mines, Mr. Fife, who spoke next, was given a rowdy reception until the Chairman appealed to the meeting to give him a better hearing.

+ | ====Decision On The Club Room.===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a result of e resolution carried at the September General Meeting, the Club will move to the hall owned by the Wireless Institute of Australis, 14 Atchison Street, St. Leonards for a period of twelve months, and then review the desirability of remaining there. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Because this is a matter of importance to most members, and since the September meeting was held sufficiently early in the month for notes of the debate to be prepared, a summary of the discussion on Club Rooms is given below: it will be excluded from the normal meeting notes in the October issue. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | About 62 members were present including people from eastern, southern and western suburbs. In opening the discussion, Don Finch said a tentative agreement with the owners for 18 months' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Craig Shappert then moved the resolution given above. It was supported by Alex Colley, who considered the hall a good one, not much more difficult of access than a dingy place near Darlinghurst we had used for many years. Phill Hall was of the opinion that the room was the most attractive the Club had occupied in his 27 or 28 years' membership. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Your reporter said the lack of storage space at other places for maps, Club records, and particularly the gear loaned to prospectives, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Max Crisp was of opposite opinion, and suggested a six months' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Almost all speakers agreed that the movement away from the City area was regrettable, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | The diagram published in the August magazine showing the location of the Club room is repeated overpage. Some information regarding public transport services arriving St. Leonards between about 7.0 and 8.30 pm and leaving between 9.0 and 11.0 pm on week nights is also provided. | ||

+ | =====Notice From The Myall Lakes Committee.===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A number of copies of a circular prepared by the Myall Lakes Committee have been received by the Club, and should be sufficient for a notice to be enclosed with most copies of the magazine. An accompanying note from the Acting Chairman of the Committee reads - | ||
+ | |||
+ | "The October 7 meeting to be held by the Myall Lakes Committee will be of vital importance to the campaign for a major Myall Lakes National Park free from mining. It is __imperative__ that we fill or overfill the auditorium, so as to impress the Government with the high degrees of public concern which we know now exists. | ||
