 around 30 prospectives. Jan Mohandas cancelled his walk in Bungonia Gorge due to the lack of water.  Morag Ryder led a group of 7 on her Saturday trip from Faulconbridge to Blaxland via Glenbrook Creek. The walk was described as pleasant but there was mention of a continuing serial argument between Wilf and Zol.  Morrie Ward's day walk in the Wattagans on the Sunday had a patty of 26 enjoying pleasant weather on a delightful day.

+The weekend of 5,6,7 August saw Spiro and a party of 13 enjoying a cool sunny weekend as they dashed out to Mt Colong and back.
+They even carried water handicaps up to the top of Colong to remedy the excessive dryness there.  Morag Ryder led a party of 14 on an enjoyable Saturday walk from Blackheath Station via Grand Canyon.  They either started early or had a bolter or two in the group for they were all out by 1530.  Peter Miller reported 28 on his Sunday walk from Berowra station to Cowan station with off-track variations.  David Robinson cancelled his Otford to Bundeena trip due to track closures to bring the walks report to an anticlimactic end.
+Confederation report consisted of reminders about the forthcoming AGM and Bush Dance at Mudgee.
+Conservation report covered such matters as the problem of increasing helicopter flights over natural areas, particularly the Blue Mountains National Park.  There is a plan for up to 40 flights per day initially and possibly 400 per day into the future.  "The air is alive with the sound...".  Developers are still pushing to go ahead with extensions to Helensburgh, with the State government in close support and just about everyone else in opposition.  Odd thing that, "of the people by the people for the people".
+There will be a photographic display for Blue Mountains heritage on 27 August 1994.  The latest version of the environmental shame file indicates that 11 of the new wilderness areas promised have not yet been declared and that at this date plans of management for 32 national parks are in suspense.  On what one can only hope is the brighter side, plans for the Royal, Heathcote and Garrawarra are due out mid September for comment by 20 February 1995.
+The call for general business brought no response and apart from a few announcements that was all there was to it.  The meeting closed at 2049.
 ===== Come, search for a plane like this, but not like this: only its parts shrouded in vines!! =====
