-The roll-up was about 359 something like normal for a General Meeting, and it was 8.15 p m0 when the gong struck, and TB gathered to see three new' hands introduced - Margaret Reid, Len Miles and Peter Downes. Three others - originally elected to membership in October - have yet to be formally welcomed.
-November's minutes were confirmed and no matterz arose. In correspondence there was an enquiry from Federation (and a reply) concerning the extent of walking activity in the Wollongathbe wilderness, associated with the gas pipe-line project, and a letter from the N.S.W. Orientiering Society advertising that it sought more members. The Club had lodged its own protest

+In the Treasurer's absence, the Secretary gave us the vital financial statistics, showing our credit in the working funds to be $1,035 at the end of November. Federation news was mainly covered in the December magazine, but additional matters referred to the establishment of a "Canyon S. & R." team, and a reprint in colour of the well-known Blue Mountains - Burragorang Tourist map. Two recent meetings, one at Springwood and one in Sydney Town Hall, had objected to the gas line passing through the Blue Mountains National Park.

+In accordance with his present practice, Wilf Hildar's Walks Report covered the mid-November to early December period, beginning with a leisured camp for 5 people (originally to be an Instructional Week-end) organised by Maria and Don Hitchcock at Burning Palms. That same weekend (November 10/12) Neville Lupton's Newnes bike trip went with 9 people and 8 bikes, but Peter Lovander's Wheeny Gap jaunt was cancelled. Sam Hinde had 16 along on a warm Sunday up Kingfisher Creek and Mt. Westmacott.

+A week later Ray Hookway led 14 people in the Wolgan Valley, a leisured trip to Rocky Creek and environs. There were two day walks, one conducted by Mary Davidson with about 24 on Heathcote Creek, while an abseiling instruction day under Roger Gowing and Alan Pike brought out a largish team - about 25 to 30 "who kept on arriving".

+On the weekend 24/26, a party of unspecified strength went to the Kowmung Gorge with David Rostron, in cool, overcast weather. Wilf Hilder's Saturday walk from Stanwell Park to Bundeena was postponed to allow of a track-marking expedition on the Colo which blazed the old way from Hungryway Creek to Blacksmith's Creek. On Sunday both day walks went as programmed, Kath Brown with 15 to Burning Palms, and David Cotton and party of 10 or 12 looking at the familiar bees and one only cactus (apparently David was in the throes of a disagreement with the owner of the main cactus forest).

+The weekend trip for December 1/3 was cancelled, but on the Sunday Bill Hall guided 18 through the prickle bushes over Scouters Mountain, and Sam Hinds expressed dismay at the litter around Marley. The final weekend covered by the report saw the Megalong jaunt programmed by Tony Denham fall through, but quite a team (about 20) turned up at Canberra, to a barbecue at the Rigby's and a lilo trip down a section of the Murrumbidgee River on Sunday. Five miles took 5 1/2 hours, and several square yards of skin were later lost through sunburn. Bob Hodgson took Wilf's Colo trip, but details were not known, and Gladys Roberts had 5 citizens out on Cowan Creek, remarking on the debris around the ruins of Windybanks old boat shed.

+Thus to General Business, where Dot Butler gave us the latest on our Kangaroo Valley country estate. We would lose about 16 acres of terra firma when the dams were built, but in lieu the Water Board offered a 30-acre block downstream and adjourning our land PLUS $700. Dot suggested this and other funds available should be invested to provide the wherewithal for our rates. The question of erecting a shelter and water tank on the land was raised and it was mentioned that a "roof" only might be considered as being less liable to vandalism, giving shelter for cooking and eating and yet providing a catchment. Dot mentioned the Kiwi concept of "shelf-bunks" and it was agreed that the whole proposal be looked at. The Water Board's offer was adopted as satisfactory to us. A threat to build across Coolana a high-tension power line had been averted, and the whole question of road access to our property was deliberately being left in abeyance for a while.

+Wilf Hilder mentioned that latest information from the Mountain Trails Club indicated it was practically inactive: thus the Club whose members were influential in creating S.B.W. 45 years ago was almost spent, as was the Rucksack Club, which was one of the other founding clubs of Federation. Wilf also spoke of new maps covering the North Coast region west of Wauchope and east of Walcha, and uttered a caution about cars parked in bushy places in the Blue Mountains on Saturdays, and a recent series of cases of breaking, entering and stealing of valuables.
