 The more significant amendments to the Draft Constitution were:-
-. The term "Federation" will be changed to "Confederation" (this because the word "federation" implies an Australia-wide body).
-. The"Objects" clause altered to include provision to "Maintain a Search & Rescue Organisation" which will be affiliated with other volunteer rescue bodies.
-. The category "Associate Membership" to be discontinued. All Clubs to be full members of the Confederation.
-. A proposal that the number of delegates be variable, depending on the size of the Club,

-. General Meetings of the Confederation to be held monthly or as determined by a General Meeting.
-It is expected that the process of Incorporation will involve a period of at least three months, which should give time for Clubs to decide on the Insurance Policies.

Take the Bell Road to Mountain Lagoon and follow the fire trail that goes to Condor Trig. Take the lower branch to Mailes Ridge. The walking track leads down Mailes Ridge near Merco Trig. There is a good campsite at the bottom. A 4WD vehicle is recommended for the fire trail.

-o Happy 80th Birthday to L.G. ("Mouldy") Harrison! In April, seven octogenarians and two septugenarians helped "Mouldy" to celebrate his birthday at the home of Mrs Ray Page, on Jamberoo Mountain. Present were May and Paddy Pallin, Freda Ashley, Frank Duncan and Edna Garrard. The youngest person at the party was well over 50! Ray Page is also a longtime Honorary Member of S.B.W.

-o Ray Page was given recognition by Kiama Municipal Council when she was made "Australia Day Citizen" this year. At a ceremony in Jamberoo township the Mayor of Kiama told the overflowing hall (which included about 12 S.B.W.$) how Ray had been a conservationist all - her life and "trod gently on the earth". Ray responded with typical modesty by turning attention away from herself, recalling how the people of Jamberoo had unselfishly fought bush fires and saved her home.
