-THE APRIL GENERAL MEETING
+There was movement in the bush\\
+For the word had got around\\
+That Jim Brown was leading a push\\
+To keep feet closer to the ground.\\
+You see he had this theory,\\
+Created by brain power,\\
+That big boots made him weary\\
+And too tired for Happy Hour.
+He mused upon this curious case,\\
+And said, "It's 'really quite a shame.\\
+Fireside festivities I cannot face;\\
+Heavy boots have made me lame.\\
+The soles are far too thick,\\
+Those hobnails are of steel.\\
+I could easily kick a brick,\\
+But I cannot face a meal."
+And then the revelation dawned -\\
+Illumination from on high.\\
+A great idea was spawned\\
+That few would dare deny.\\
+"Get thee to a sports store, Jim,\\
+And there some sandshoes buy!"\\
+'Twas the grand edict from Her/Him,\\
+The Great Bushwalker in the sky,
+So he dutifully took heed,\\
+And softly, softly went his way -\\
+A different bushwalker indeed\\
+From that of another day.\\
+Now in the bush he took more care,\\
+As he looked down at the flowers\\
+And knew he was a visitor there,\\
+For those few precious hours.
+Now no more would his feet\\

 The Minutes of the previous general meeting were read and received with the only matter for mention being the continuing review of our insurances in the light of cover provided under our affiliation with Confederation.
-Correspondence was a little confused due to most of the letters having already been passed on to the Club officers concerned without a record being kept. It was all out there somewhere. There was a collection of flyers and magazines received from other clubs and in future these will be displayed on the notice board until close as meeting, when they will be available for collection by interested parties.

 The Treasurer's Report indicated that an adjustment of $100.00 had been taken-up to correct a previous mis-statement. Other than that, we received income of $1,166, spent $854 and closed the month with a balance of $1,512. Keep those cards and subs rolling in folks, and help to keep the Treasurer happy.
 While we are on the subject of matters financial, the committee will prepare an annual budget for presentation to the next general meeting. Come along and cheer the projected income, hiss and boo the expenditures and be amazed at the final deficit/surplus/break-even result/clash/fixture.
 Then came the management report. It seems that Spiro has agreed to be re-union convenor and would appreciate your support. Alas, the flaxen haired Denise Shaw will not be playing the part of Social Secretary this year. Fran Holland will, and her twisted arm is recovering nicely, thank you.
-All of which propelled us headlong into the Walks Report. Over the weekend of 23,24,25 March Bob Younger led a party of 12 on his Blayden Pass walk. There was no report of Karl Lachman's Shoalhaven River canoe trip, and of the day walks Errol Sheedy led 12 on his somewhat re-routed, due to the lack of water in certain of the creeks, Waterfall to Heathcote trip, Alan Mewett reported 10 starters and a lovely day for his Ten Mile Hollow trip, and Jim Callaway reported "to program" for the 8 beds on his Engadine to Heathcote walk.

+Easter saw a program of three extended walks. Ian Rannard had 16 people out experiencing the extremes of weather which turned out to be a feature of his Snowy Plains walk, David Rostron led 6 on his Mittagong to Katoomba walk through less severe but seemingly just as variable weather, and George Mewer managed to turn on a pleasant trip for the 28 stalwarts who braved his three-day Morton National Park base camp.
+It is not clear whether the party of 13 on Wayne Steele's Allyn River trip did find the spot where Fazeley broke her leg, but we are told they did it in good weather whatever the outcome. Geoff Bradley's day walk on the Fish River had a party of 5 (2 wimps, Geoff and Bob Niven, 2 ladies, Margaret Niven and another, and 1 young man, played by Jeff Niven). Bronny Niemeyer's walk from Waterfall to Heathcote went with a party of 12, and Dick Weston had 16 enjoying the rock-hopping in the creeks around Glenbrook. This report was followed by walks announcements for the coming weekend.
+Conservation Report brought news of further activities in the Nattai region, a comment on the value of protest letters on the proposal to raise the storage level of Warragamba dam and news of an offer by CSR to provide an area of land near one of their quarries for joint use by Confederation and Mr. Schloss' Wilderness College. At last report Confederation was not considering accepting the offer.

 The Confederation Report brought to us by the visiting Jan Wooters in the absence of all our delegates concerned itself mainly with the Ball, the First Aid Courses and the AGM which is to be held over a weekend in August. If you would be prepared to billet country delegates or members please contact Confederation.
 Of General Business there was nil, so the meeting closed at around 2112.
