 On the following weekend, the 23,24,25 June, Brian Hart led 9 bodies on
 a trip in the Wattagan Creek area. They were somewhat blighted by a trail bike rally which was being conducted at the same time. That well-known firm of C. & C. Austin had 8 members out from Kanangra on the same weekend on a walk described as hard with worthwhile views. Vic Lewin had his 4 members and 6 prospectives back at the cars before dark on his Govett's Leap test walk of the 25th, while Paul Mawhinney had 20 bods on his Waterfall to Audley trip the same day.

-THE JULY GENERAL MEETING
-by Barry Wallace
-It was about 8.16 p m. on one of winter's cooler evenings when Fazely, flanked by secretaries Alastair and Barbara, for warmth, gonged the gong and called the 22 or so members and others to order for the July General Meeting.
-Once more it was ladies night for new members, with Diane Southgate and Jacqueline Bruen being welcomed with badge, constitution and applause.
-The minutes were read and received without comment.
-Incoming correspondence included letters from Federation regarding costs incurred during the preparations for the Court enquiry into mining applications in the E trema area; advising details of a coming orienteering competition, and warning of the various wilderness areas presently under threat by mining leases.
-Correspondence out consisted of letters to new members and an order for cloth badges.
-Federation report brought news of proposed search and rescue excercises in August, February and May; advice that representatives of the N.P.W.S. will address federation in August and the announcement of the Federation Ball to be held on 6th October this year.
-The Treasurer's report indicated a starting balance of $1,685.77, incomings of $374.00,expenditure of $402.97 to provide a closing balance of
-$1,656.80.
-And then it was time for, oh no!, oh yes!, the Walks Reports. The weekend of June 16,17,18 saw John Redfern leading 9 members and 1 prospective on the Bonnum Pic, Wollondilly River, Burnt Flat Creek circuit in fine weather. They completed the walk without problems, but spent some time getting their cars out to the main road over the black soil track. David Rutherford's Cox river trip brought out 2 members and 2 prospectives, but the flooded state of the Cox turned it into a there-and-back along Yellow Pup with lunch in Mobbs Soak Cave. Jim Brown's day walk from Wondabyne started somewhat early due to train re-scheduling. We are assured that the 12 members, 4 prospectives and 1 visitor, were on the track at 8.30 a m. Nobody mentioned when they finished
-the walk, but Jim's trips are usually orderly (the programmed ones are, that is). Neil Brown's Waterfall trip was cancelled.
-On the following weekend, the 23,24,25 June, Brian Hart led 9 bodies on
-a trip in the Wattagan Creek area. They were somewhat blighted by a trail bike rally which was being conducted at the same time. That well-known firm of C. & C. Austin had 8 members out from Kanangra on the same weekend on a walk described as hard with worthwhile views.

 Peter liller and John Redfern's combined walk from Airly on the 1-2 July had 9 members and 6 prospectives out on a fine Saturday. The'rainy Sunday which followed brought out the best in the white ants and they were all back at the cars by mid-afternoon. David Rutherford's 30 km. test walk from Kanangra attracted 4 members and 1 prospective on the same weekend. On the Sunday, Bill Hall led 3 members and 1 prospective on a rainy walk out from Waterfall. Anne Morgan's trip of July 2 was cancelled.
 On the weekend of July 7,8,9 Phil Lamer led 3 members and 1 prospective on a cold and snowy walk on the Colboyd range. There was no response when details of Peter Harris' trip into the Ettrema region were called for (this is getting to be a habit!). Pat McBride's day trip from A. Hay ran a little overtire and the 13 starters reached the cars at 9.00 p m. John Noble led 13 bods on his Tunks Creek trip on the 9th; to conclude the Walks Report.
