 We emerged up the Steep track from the valley about 4pm on Sunday to be confronted by an irate Mr Samson who was sitting on the top rail of the stockyard and demanded that we line up in front of him and show him the soles of our shoes. As expected all ten of us were wearing Dunlop Volleys.
-Up tothis time he had refused any request for an explanation. He then asked each vehicle owner to stand next to their vehicle. I encouraged the angry owners to do so realising that our opportunity to cross his property might be in jeopardy.

 It then became apparent that there was a white van that didn't belong to anyone from our group.
 Mr Samson then told us that a person with a distinctive boot pattern had walked into his shed and removed the control knobs from his tractor and taken several spanners.
-He then apologised for delaying us. I phoned him later - He told me that the van which was owned by a religious group and carried about eight young people arrived after we had left the site. He had his spanners and lambs returned after lining them up and checking each sole pattern to reveal the culprit.
-The November, 1995 General Meeting.

-Around 20 members had arrived by 2013 so, the president called the meeting to order and began proceedings. There were no apologies, so, we moved on to welcome new members Bob Stewart Michael Moulton and Steve Hine.

 The minutes of the previous meeting were read and received with no matters arising.
 Correspondence out saw letters to our new members, to Kuring-gai Chase N.P. thanking them for assistance with the sump catcher for Coolana, to Peter Downes and Lucy Sullivan re-admitting them to membership. We also received a more detailed response from the South Australian walking clubs' confederation to our question regarding leader accreditation. There was also a letter from the Victorian Clubs' Federation indicating that they feel such moves would be unworkable and would tend to drive mutual clubs underground. They have indicated they will advise if they come across any such proposal. All of which is fairly enlightening in view of the fact that the push for accreditation is supposed to have originated in Victoria. A letter from Maurice Smith as Confederation Secretary indicated that SBW would need to maintain detailed records of any Members wishing to take out sports injury insurance through Confederation. As a result of an approach by the club, David Rostron has advised us on the clauses used and cover provided by Public Liability insurance policies. He has also commented favourably on the Sports Injury, policy available through Confederation. Gordon and Serala Lee have written to update their address and fill us in on their recent moves. A letter from the Total Environment Centre indicated a continuing need for donations to assist with their work. We also wrote to our new members.
 In matters arising, Tony Holgate foreshadowed a motion that he intends to move at the AGM to change the clauses in the constitution relating to our non-profit status and the procedures for dissolution of the club:
 From there it was a minor transition to Tony presenting the financial statements for the month. We spent $800 and received income of $291.
- Not to be outdone, Eddie Giacomel led off the walks, report with an extended review of the month from the statistician's viewpoint, listing the various parameters with values and percentages. The only figure recorded here is a total walking distance of 446 km.

 The first walk covered was the extended 4 day walk in the area of Discovery Cave led by Jan Mohandas. This was postponed to another date. Margaret Sheens' Cudgegong Valley cycling trip had a party of 10 and a lovely weekend. Tony Maynes led 3 on his Bundundah Creek trip and Maurice Smith had 15 on his 2 day walks from a base camp triP. There was no report for Alan Mewett's Mill Creek day walk but Laurie Bore led 6 on his Wollangambe Crater trip on a fine mild to warm day. There was a general belief that David Robinson's walk from Otford to Waterfall went but there were no details available to the meeting.
 Ian Wolfe’s extended X.CD trip from 16 to 22 October went but it rained. Oliver Crawford cancelled, his Budawangs trip. Tom Wellman and the party of 6 who came out for his walk along the Kowmung allowed discretion to take the better part of valour when they faced inclement weather. The walk was rerouted to 100 Man cave but two of the party elected to keep their powder dry and departed for home. The remainder were making distance toward Cloudmaker when Chris Poleson had a fall, gashing his face over one eye. At this point they abandoned the trip, returning to the cars at around 1600. The injury required 7- stitches when they reached medical help. There was no report for Peter Miller's Saturday walk in Marramarra NP but Don Brooks led 6 on his Woy Way to Wondabyne trip, reporting acceptable weather. There; were no reports for either Saturday or Sunday of Tony Manes back to back trips in The Royal. Geoff McIntosh led a party of on his Redledge Pass trip on Sunday and Wilf again 'obtained a pass to visit the Chapel on the Naval base as part of his circumnavigation of Port Jackson. They reported scattered showers and have now featured in numerous home: made Japanese tourist videos as the caped avengers, or whatever it was the tourists made of them in their raingear.
